Day 266: Fire

If you live in Texas, you've probably seen a lot of this: smoke. With the extreme heat this summer, we've been plagued with lots of fires. This year, in fact, wildfires have burned close to 4 million acres - in other words, an area the size of the state of Connecticut.

This afternoon, a fire broke out a couple of miles from our house. It didn't burn any structures, thankfully, though it did take out close to 200 acres. By the time I saw the smoke (and took this picture), the fire had calmed down a lot, so it's hard to see here.
