| From my front door during the day.... |
Listening as
other smoke-grimed firefighters, Jen was struck with sheer immensity of this wildfire.
 |
| From my front door at dusk... |
Grim revelations of how many other sites weighed heavily on them
all, but for Jen, this was her first fire.
They hacked and
climbed through brush, always watching the indigo
smoke billow in the sky. Her team all
knew that somewhere, a sparrow-sized
flicker of flame had burst into this monster.
 |
| From my front door at night.... |
The searing conflagration
roared toward the sea in a rapture
of destruction and devastation.
 |
| Over the hill where the fires sweep... |
Jen shoveled without pause.
Thanks go to Delores at Under the Porch Light for providing six challenging words each Wednesday as a challenge. The bold underlined words above show her wide scope when it comes to words. You should check out her A to Z Challenge where each day, Delores would provide an extremely obscure word.
Please go to her site by clicking on the stream in the right sidebar.
Note: My camera and I have not melded yet, so these photos are grainy. Our house is safe. Others are not.
