PHOTO FOR THE DAY

So the evacuation and standby orders were lifted for the Flagstaff area and people were allowed back into their homes. The Schultz Fire is over 10,000 acres but it sounds like the firefighters are starting to get it a little under control. My friend Karen, is pretty thrilled she gets to unpack her car and will not need to evacuate the horses; including Sophie, who has modeled for me on numerous occasions.

I've been on the phone a lot with friends in Flagstaff, more so than usual, due to a worrisome little thing called the Schultz Fire, currently burning over 10,000 acres in Flagstaff and way too close to those friend's houses. Some have evacuated and some are on stand-by, cars packed, kids and animals ready to go. This is a photo of the current area burning (To the left in the photo over the ridge. That is Mt Elden in the distance.) 2 weeks ago when I hiked the Weatherford Trail with one of those friends. Not a cloud in the sky.
