The Los Alamos fire as seen at 8:00 PM tonight.

Pray for rain, less wind & bona fortuna…….

The red wave, affected by the multiple, New Mexico forest fires was followed and often proceeded by the protective white foam. Pray for healing & life enriching rain and the typical summer monsoons…….

Too many dots might spoil the picture.

How many dots do you have in your picture?

Are there enough dots to clarify the picture? Hope so…….

The 2 Black Fans floated, waved and made the day easier and more peaceful for the populace…….

Dont’ya wish life were that easy for the world’s persecuted peoples?

The heavy wooden door opened quickly.

A rightfully so, irritated voice demanded, “Boxes!”

A request made is a request fulfilled.

Once a tree, the card board in a hollow, 3-Dimensional form becomes functional, when it contains it’s full measure of content…….

This is what Santa Fe looks like today, at 2:00 PM MDT.

The smoke is so thick, even the Sangre de Christo Mountains are invisible!

Compare this view with the photo seen in an earlier post today, from last night’s picture, whew!!     Cough, cough…

According to KSFR, Los Alamos is now under a mandatory evacuation, although there is no imminent threat, at this time.

Top Photo: This is what the the Los Alamos fire (looking to the West) looked like last night, in the Jemez Mountain range, around 8:30 PM MDT.

Hot, dry and smoky here in Santa Fe area today.

So far, according to Sante Fe’s only public radio station, KSFR, 30 structures have burned in the fire near Los Alamos, NM. The fire is within 50 feet of the Los Alamos Lab at 1:00 PM MDT. At this time, only voluntary evacuation is in effect.

44,000 acres have burned thus far and according to authorities this blaze might double or triple in size before it is over.

Bottom Photo: This is what the sky looked like over Santa Fe, at the same time as other photo above. The dark area at top of photo is not the sky, but effects from the Los Alamos fire. This view is looking Northeast, at the Sangre de Christo Mountains. Look closely and you will see the Pacheco Fire smoke we’ve been dealing with for over a week at this point!

Into our hearts, often it is gni niar ssen das.

Most of us have felt this and will feel it again.

Peace & faith in life is the only answer…….

Cranbrook Academy of Art’s, Academy Way was the backdrop for this picture of Shereen. Shereen was wearing her long flowing, green kaftan and a bandage. This is one of David’s favorite pictures of Shereen, especially the bandage on her long, left index finger. What beautiful, long fingers…….

And, what a wonderful smile!

Hearing the tune in the early morning re-connects our souls and I wonder what you are doing.

You came in the dream time again and I thank you for warming my heart & the loving feelings.

Your smile is forever within those magic moments as is your love for me & mine for you…….
