Forest Fire Season has already begun. Who knew?
Apparently the fires started to the East of me. Normally the wind will blow them further East along with the jet stream, so it isn’t too surprising I hadn’t noticed the smoke building up in the valley. The surprising and scary part is that the fires started in February.
It seems the central part of Montana had an unusually warm and dry winter. 50 deg. F in the middle of February? Yeah – too warm! I’m just praying it won’t break any more records in the next few months. Not that kind anyway.
As to the Totally Random Picture above – It was taken in Java while walking around on a volcano we couldn’t see for all the ash in the air. I was trying to capture the butterfly.
