Good Morning, Gentle Readers!
I was idly wondering what I should write about today when a friend of mine sent a series of pictures taken of the Saint Jusita fire in May.
The reports of the flames towering hundreds of feet into the air were not exaggerated. Nor were those of the devastation in spite of super-human efforts on the part of the fire fighters. The surprise isn't that the losses were so tremendous: It is that anything survived at all. Thus the inspiration for today's image, Peering Through Smoke.
Most of the people that live in this area have lost everything except what they had when they fled. They will be dealing with letting go of things and rebuilding.
My best thoughts are with them.
