Wildfire

I haven’t posted this week, because we’ve been busy visiting our friends in Prescott, Arizona- and looking for a house to buy.  I’ve barely taken time for photography, much less gotten my laptop out.  It has been a wonderful visit, and although we haven’t yet bought a house, we’ve fallen in love with Prescott again.

The day before we left for Arizona was the day of the horrible tragic deaths of the firefighters in the Yarnell fire (just outside of Prescott). The town is in mourning and coming together to help the families of those who were evacuated and/or lost homes as well as the families of the fire crew who lost their lives.

Fire was on our minds as we drove Hwy. 40 from California into Arizona. Just past Kingman we saw another wildfire- the Dean Peak fire.

Since we’ve been here, we’ve seen a wildfire- and experienced lightning, thunder, a hailstorm and flash flooding! We’ve seen lots of lizards and one javelina- think I’ll go sit outside now and hope a herd of javelinas come through the yard before dark!
