En Fuego

No, that's not a mushroom cloud - but it's pretty intimidating nonetheless. It's the smoke from the Station Fire - the first big forest fire they've had in this part of the San Gabriel mountains for almost 50 years. The fire is a 15 minute drive from our house and the air can get pretty smoky depending on which way the wind is blowing. The fire, coupled with the 100 degree temps, has forced us indoors the last few days.





There should be a 6,000 foot mountain visible in this picture taken in front of our house - instead, it's a huge billowing cloud of smoke. At night, it looks like a volcano.


The view from daddy's office on Friday.
