Texas Wildfires

Down here in Texas we've been having an awful drought-the worst in at least the past 50 years I've heard. As a result, wildfires have been popping up all over the state. One of the worst ones I've heard of is in Bastrop, but then close to home there's been one about an hour north of me. Smoke filled the skies and it smelled like campfires for days. Here's a couple picture I took of the smoke-my camera doesn't adequately capture the colors in the sky. Between the setting sun and the smoke, the sky and sun were some shade of red and orange. It has been scary and many prayers are being sent heavenward for relief. Everything that looks like clouds is actually smoke. From our house you could not see this, but just around the corner the trees/houses cleared out and you could actually see on the horizon where the smoke was billowing up from the fire.
