The Horizon Lights Up by gardenfolk

The Horizon Lights Up

Every night
The horizon lights up
Swirls of pink and orange
Fading to blue and purple
Few bother to look anymore
At a blessing
That only comes once a day.
...Jessica Millsaps

Heading home from Truckee Thursday, the sky put on a show. Every photo I took was a different color and some looked like the trees were on fire but luckily they were not. There is a big fire threatening Yosemite and the national park temporarily has closed. It has been very hot this July, dry, windy in the canyons and difficult to contain. California has a lot of beautiful places and sadly too many fires...16 fires currently. Nice on Black.

There is also a Thunder Moon or Buck Moon tonight.
