A Fire in the nearby mountains

 changes color in the valley.

It bathes everything in a special light. 

Even simple things take on more importance.

Little flowers glow in the light. 

Open fields are greener.

Old does not look quite so old. 

Even one lonely hollyhock, growing through a crack,  is bathing in the sun.

The fire is almost out, they say.  

Have a safe and happy week,
