Arline, this piece just takes my breath away... when I clicked to enlarge it, my hand went, involuntarily, to my heart and I expelled a huge sigh of sadness... the flames and the little licks of flames just starting to burn the cabin, the glow of the fire and the smoke filled sky... It's so very real and so very sad. I know this is your personal journal, but I'm wondering if a poster-sized version of it would be of interest to the California fire association, or some such organization... It carries the message of caution so well. Thank you for dealing with this subject.

We have a volunteer fire department that did an awsome job along with other agencies in saving the homes up in our canyon community. Thank you again for this work.<BR/><BR/>Debdochoamomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16755773304701888426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22002369.post-2456662621609171452008-11-04T11:21:00.000-08:002008-11-04T11:21:00.000-08:00You did one terrific job here!

The flying sparks you added make the atmosphere of the picture still more menacing and realistic.<BR/><BR/>How can you live with a constant fear of fire? Obviously, nature is responsible for a lot of the fires. Are there many man-made fires, with a criminal background or ignited because of carelessness, too?<BR/><BR/>May you always be protected from the worst.<BR/><BR/>SabineSabinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828881412607899172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22002369.post-61768427535781257162008-11-02T05:50:00.000-08:002008-11-02T05:50:00.000-08:00Super!
