There are several wildfires burning to the west and north of the ranch...
...far enough away that we're not in danger...
...but close enough to fill our skies with smoke.
Nothin' like a smokey haze to add a little drama to a sunset.
Excuse me, George? I'm trying to work here.
We're keeping a close eye on the "Dog Head" fire.
It's moving northeast, which is a good thing for me
but a nightmare for the folks and animals in its path.
We'll be working on our rain dance until it's contained.
I hope that it's doesn't hurt anyone.
ReplyDeleteThere is no greater fear in dry areas than fire. Good luck to you all!
ReplyDeleteprayers for our safety and you always have dramatic photos, no matter what the sky is doing. these are gorgeous
ReplyDeleteI'll do a rain dance for you too.
ReplyDeleteWith summer there is always fire. Stay safe!
ReplyDeleteFires are a fact of life in the desert but they sure are scary. Its bad enough if you just have to jump in your truck with a few belongings but when you have animals, it brings a whole new meaning to scared.
ReplyDeleteI just read about that!! Too close...northeast part of NM, scary.
ReplyDeleteI'll be doing a rain dance for you, I'll put on my Mexican poncho and the dogs will help.
Love the photos...miss you guys
I'll be doing a raindance for you here too! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteWe have periodic grass fires here so I can appreciate the concern and danger. Rain, rain, rain .... come again.
ReplyDeleteAlways love your still shots. The videos are fun, but you have a way with that camera, plus oodles of experience!
Joan....in the unseasonably Hot midwest
Been praying for all of New Mexico and AZ. people with these
ReplyDeletewildfires....Drove thru NM and AZ several years ago when they
were experiencing these fires back then. the smokey air is
not good....and last summer I spent the time above the Redwood Curtain
in Cali when the fires were there and in Oregon....Not good then
either.....so, I am praying for rain....and safety for the
people and their ranch animals....
we are going to have rain here in NC again today...Wish I could
blow hard to get that rain to your neck of the country.
Love from NC
Fabulous photos! Stay safe.
ReplyDeleteWe're in off fire season here. In fact, today we're off with our brigade to do a controlled burn in the bush nearby to help keep down the fuel load ready for next summer. I'll focus my rain dance energy on the northern hemisphere for everyone up there!
ReplyDeletelove these velvety legs!
ReplyDeleteYikes. I hate wildfire season. I'm hoping it is contained asap and a good rain comes through to reduce future flames!
ReplyDeleteStay safe!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love that shot through George's legs! =)
