High Park Fire - Early Yesterday


From my favorite spot under the front yard tree, if I look to the east,
it is a beautiful, warm, cloudless summer day with a light breeze.


If, from that same spot, I look to the west,
the breeze is really blowing the smoke and fanning the flames
 of the High Park Fire which just started this morning.


This is the 3rd fire this season.
Latest news reports state that it blew up to over 5000 acres
by last evening.  Winds were expected to worsen and change direction
(which, I believe, they did last night -
a heavy cloud is now over my house in SE Fort Collins).
