Update on the fires



The evacuations in our area have been lifted. We stayed with our friends by the ocean, Monday & Tuesday. We could have went home yesterday but decided that it was too smoky and ashy to go back to the area, Ben drove over to check it out. While he was there he got some more photos of the area. The ones I've posted are the same place and time as each other. The one you can see the landscape in, is without the camera flash. The one that's black, is with the flash. The flash picked up all the ash in the photo instead of the backdrop. "It looks like it is snowing," Ben said. But you can't really see the ash floating in the air unless a light is shinned on it. He took the photos around dusk.
