A Sunset in Pastels

Every now and then I come across a scene that must be captured by photograph.  Last nights sunset was one such scene.  The sky in vivid pastel hues, bright and beautiful.  Looking as if a painter quickly brushed the colors on the horizon.  It's one of the more beautiful sunsets we've had in a long time.

The air wasn't so bad today, what with all the fire smoke we've been having.  Yesterday I took a drive up the canyon to see the fire damage.  The north side, at the mouth of the canyon, was scorched.  Thankfully the fire didn't jump the rode to burn the waterfall side, which is prettier.  As I was coming back through the canyon, turning at Deer Creek, a helicopter was dumping water where the earth still smoked near the mouth of the canyon.  After dumping the water the helicopter flew to the river to gather more water for another soak.  The road leading to Sundance is blocked off, open to local traffic only.

I hope you're having a nice day.  Hopefully the leaves are turning where you are, making that wonderful rustle sound with the wind blows.  Autumn truly is a nice time of year.
