Description

this is smoke from a huge fire burning by Possum Kingdom lake SW of Ft Worth.Texas is in a drought and no relief in sight.we had rain here last night but the fire area had none Winds as high as 59 mph also carried smoke from large wildfires near Wichita Falls, creating a dense haze across much of the area. More than 30,000 electricity customers were left without power late Friday because of arcing lines and tree branches swaying against the wires. took this from my roof this evening http://www.ktxs.com/news/27548827/detail.html

This is a shame, such a beautiful area, we have been there many times & enjoyed all the wonderful beauty. In the state park the deer will come up & eat corn from your hand. I hope the deer can get to safety.

Firemen in several states have about been overworked this year... we could use some rain around here. Nice shot, Richard, don't choke on the smoke :)

And here we just had more snow, we had 4 feet of it since January. I'm thinking this might turn into a trend.

Excellent capture Ricard, the smokey haze adds atmosphere to this image. Here we have large areas of the province underwater, so much so that there is not going to be much in the way of wheat production this year, and where you live large areas are suffering droubt.
