Sunset Thursday Through A Plume of Smoke
The Horse Creek fire, burning in the Wyoming Range west of Daniel, went from 30 acres around 2:30 PM to 560 acres by 8:00 PM Thursday afternoon. Fire crews from the U.S. Forest Service, a Type III helicopter, and 9 wildland fire engines from Sublette County are currently on the blaze. More crews and equipment have been ordered and are on the way. There are pictures and a story on http://www.pinedaleonline.com/. Its about 65 or 70 miles WNW of here. Not sure if there have been others, but this is probably the first fire this spring. Its very dry. It got pretty smoky here this afternoon.
I painted a small study of trees yesterday afternoon and think its worth framing. Will tweak it a little more. Boy the moths are thick right now. After dark hundreds are just banging on the screen. Rather disgusting actually.
