The sky filled with fire tonight: vivid
red, orange, yellow flames of cloud
raged against an ashen sky before
the night reluctantly put them out.
All the fire department could do was
sit by and watch as it burned itself
into our collective memories ...
this will be one to remember.
Wow! -- what a terrific sunset photograph Karla -- your poem is so creatively written -- wish I had your imagination -- much love and peace to you my dear friend -- Jon Michael
As one living in Southern California, the sight of the fire red sky, even living twenty miles from the fire, my car covered in ash, your words and picture recall fearful memories of many past fires.

Explore the mystery of how nature makes unexpected gifts of creative wonders to an unsuspecting caregiver one late night and early morning in southeastern Georgia, USA.
Beautiful enjoyed.
Wonderful to be able to capture the beauties God has sent us.
