Photo Saturday - the Pine Gulch fire on the Bookcliffs just north of Grand Junction - still burning - over 130,000 acres. The air is filled with smoke and some mornings we wake up to ash covering everything. The 100degree temps don't help. But.....we can be thankful that there are no lives lost and it is not threatening any homes so far. Some ranches have been evacuated.
The fire in Glenwood Canyon is still going strong also. I70 has been closed for over a week - a hopeful date for re-opening is September 1. So much destruction. And I know California is struggling with fires too and entire communities have been evacuated. So sad.
It's going to be a 'Grandma day' for me! Yay!
Have a wonderful day!

Such a striking photo. It is sad there is so much fire destruction. Thanks for continuing to share the photos to keep us thinking and praying for the area.
