That Time of Year....Boys of Summer & Brush Fires!
With dry and windy conditions the last 4 or 5 days the conditions are ripe for brush fires and vivid colors. Driving around Saturday looking for something to shoot I happened to see a Little League game at Wilson Field. It was opening day as the Giants and Marlins were playing.
On Sunday about 6:00pm a call came in for a brush fire on Poles Hill. Normally I wouldn't go to cover a brush fire but the first responders said it was "ripping pretty good" and more man power was required. My in-laws home is close to where the fire was heading and I knew they weren't at home. Just in case I headed over there....with my camera.
It's midnight as I prepare this post and over the scanner I hear that the fire rekindled. Firefighters are back on the job.
In the smoke!
Fire crests the hill.

Catching a ripple! Brisk winds doesn't always mean big waves!
Looking for treasure.
