FIRES

The area in which I live is blanketed in thick smoke.

The temp. is 34C

There is a layer of fine ash over everything outside.

While not under direct threat from the main fires,

we must be cautious about burning debris being blown our way.

A change in winds around midnight may make it more pleasant here.

Looks like a long night of watching and waiting.

Spare a thought for little townships in the path of the flames,

and the animals trying to outrun it all.
