On Friday, there was a lightning strike not too far from us, near the Air Force Academy. Here is a helicopter which made some water drops on Saturday near the tree that was burning. (You may have to click on the photo to see the helicopter.)

Spectacle

Sometimes I take photos of the sunrise and think: it can’t possibly turn out as spectacular as what I am seeing. Sometimes it does.

July Sunrise Wishes

Even though words fail at a time like this, I offer my condolences to those who lost loved ones to the horrific violence that occurred in Aurora Colorado yesterday. I hope those that were injured recover quickly, and that those who witnessed the terror find peace.
