Fire Foto Friday

Last weekend, there were several major fires in Southern California. The (formerly) Blonde Girl took these pictures while she and The Lady were driving home. We were inside the house in 85 degree heat (no a/c) with the windows all closed up because of the air quality and smell. Ashes were falling down on everything. These pictures are looking at the ocean - in the opposite direction of the fires. By the way, these pictures were taken in the middle of a cloud-free day. The orange is not a sunset.

    Fires are scary. There were big fires here earlier in the year and we could smell the smoke and see the ashes. Stay safe!
