Smoke in the Air . . .

There was a desert fire about 70 miles West of where we live tonight. On the six o'clock news they said around 15,000 acres burned. Heavy smoke was in the sky and made for some great picture taking. It was amazing that the smoke was way high in the sky and did not smell like smoke at all on the ground. It was also very dark because it was between us and the sun. Made for some great lighting to play around with my camera. I like the first picture of the Grand Teton Mountain, about 55 miles to the East of us, where the sun was shining on them, smoke in the sky and dark where I was taking the picture from. It is so fun !

**Update** the fire was reported to burn around 170 square miles ***

Junior Rodeo !

Barrel racing, pole bending, break-a-way roping and goat tying are a few of the events for the Idaho Junior Rodeo Association for girls and boys between ages 0 to 16. I have a couple of families that I take pictures of and seem to learn a few things here and there too...
