the fires flared back up today, and they were even closer--about half a mile from us. the line of fire stretched several miles south to north, and destroyed many homes. i kept my car packed just in case we needed to leave in a hurry! once again, our faithful firefighters tirelessly fought to control and contain the blaze.
*the top photo is from my in-laws' back porch (we live just down the street) looking east toward the approaching fire. the bottom photo is from my driveway again looking east; it looked like the whole sky was on fire!
