A new day



Its so beautiful today, its in the 80's and the wind is blowing. I love winters in Southern California, whats to complain about. But sometimes our dry, warm weather causes everyone a lot of grief. I feel so sorry for the firefighters that have been forced to fight a fire started by the forestry dept. How sad that we put them in this kind of harms way due to an oversight and mistake. As the sun sets on the hills the smoke rising from the fire it causes the sun to glow red and the sky to be filled with wildly shaped smokey rings.

My brother was forced to evacuate his home and they weren't allowed to return until the following day, thank God everything and everyone was safe. He stood on his balcony and took several photos of the flames and firefighters fighting it out on the ridge close to his home. This other picture is of the sun in the middle of the afternoon through the clouds of ash that have covered everything.
