The front area of that mountain is burning now too...
After noticing the fire, I found ashes around the inside of our house too as I was vacuuming...
Nature is such a powerful force...

Bush Fire Season
As I sat behind the laptop today the kitchen suddenly became omniously dark..I looked around outside to see the rainclouds approaching,but all I saw dead ahead of me was a cloud of smoke billowing out over the mountain right in front of me! The whole mountain burned..I tried to take pictures of the flames at night just now,but alas,my little camera just isn't good enough for such far ranging pictures...

oh, dear liesl! please may your place and critters all stay safe!!! we finally got a couple of inches of rain last night so the fire danger is much better for us here in NE Texas right now. i do hope you won't be directly affected!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Teresa,I am so glad you have had rain. What a relief that must be for you and the animals...We have never yet been in any danger from fire due to the lay of our land and extensive firebreaks around our place...but all it takes is for the wind to blow a burning ember onto your house....especially while you are away...So fingers crossed the serious rains come soon!
ReplyDeleteHope the rains come very quickly as yes, I know how easy it is for flames to jump fire breaks if the wind is strong. Take care Diane
ReplyDeleteOh, I hope that fire won't come too close to your beautiful home!
ReplyDeleteI do hope you stay safe and do be careful!
ReplyDeleteStay safe! I hope the fire is out soon.
