Landscapes on a fateful morning.

We lost two big homes last night and 2 firefighters are in hospital with burn wounds.

The strong winds forced the fires to the other side of the mountains.

I did not sleep well last night after yesterday's activities chasing the flames that I have shown you. So I was up very early this morning and went out to wait for the sunrise. Many beautiful scenes awaited me and I will show you some of them here. Gradually as time went on, the fire clouds became more prominent, as we again have strong winds fanning the flames.
Come and see the early morning beauty.

So here you are, with the severe brutality of nature there is also much beauty to be seen. I can only stare dumbfounded at the destruction and our hearts go out to the loss of life of the animals. I have to say that we are thankful that no human lives were lost yet and the battle simply continues.
Until the rain arrives and there are promising clouds all over the place now. So we say come rain come!

The fires also chase young birds too early out of their nests like this one that I helped this morning.

A baby dove and the parents were nowhere to be seen. When their tree lights up with flames, they scatter in all directions and we can only hope that the parents find him. I will show more of him in another post.

And That's All Friends.

Most dangerous things look beautiful and so do your photos look beautiful, my friend. If I didn't know that there's so much pain and suffering behind these shots, I would love them even more.

I hope that the dove's parents will find her or at least that you can safe her life, and I hope you're having a pleasant Sunday besides all these bad things happening around.

Thank you my friend and yes, I feel happy that the rain clouds are starting to gather and sad at the same time about so much damages.

I gave the dove to Mother nature so that she can unite him with his parents. Luckily he can fly.

Cheers and thanks.

At least the rain will prevent even more damages.

Oh yes, if he can fly he will certainly make it and even find his parents 😀

You're most welcome, my friend 😊
