Fire Sunset

It's that time of year again - when much of the west experiences wildfires.




Definitely not my favorite time of year.




My hometown of Hailey, ID has a super large (250,000+ acres) fire burning right over the mountains from town. It's really scary. Some people are being evacuated but so far it's not too close to my parents' home. Well, 10 miles is too close, but the winds are blowing it north, not east so things are okay for now.


It is heading to Baker Lake though and that's really sad. It's a glacier lake north of Ketchum and one of our very favorite places to hike.




I'm praying for the firefighters and all the people involved - and for lots and lots of rain.



And no lightning.




One good result of all the smoke are some pretty killer sunsets. This was tonight's show:
