GREAT BALLS OF FIRE, or...

I told you so!
When my kitchen suddenly "lit up" orange/pink tonight, I knew it was happening again - I ran and grabbed my camera in hopes that I could capture what I was talking about earlier, with our "fire sunsets".

We have the most incredible sunsets (beautiful and eerie, at the same time), here in Vegas, when CA is "on fire" - I don't know the technical aspects of it all, but it has to do with the layer of smoke we get here, 4 hours away, in NV...and it's spectacular - night after night, until the fires are out.  It only ever lasts about 5-7 minutes, and I missed the first few of those tonight, but did manage to snap a couple before the show was over.

Damn, I must have been watching some stupid tv...

Usually I catch these through the big windows in the Dining Room. At least I got to see it here.

Oh that is too funny, I ran out and and took photos too! I love the desert sunsets, I love when it rains here and you walk out in it expecting it to be cold and it is still 95* out, there is nothing like desert weather, I hope I can live here forever!
