Aspen, June 1995
We're back in our house and everything's fine, we suffered no losses. Many weren't so lucky as almost 500 homes were burned in the wildfire. Rain Friday afternoon was a big help, and we're getting a little more rain now. Many thanks to those who sent thoughts and prayers this way.

ReplyDeleteSo good to see your post and know that you and your family are safe and had no damage to your home! A gorgeous capture for the day, too!! Take care!
ReplyDeleteIt's been years since I've been to Aspen but I recognize this beautiful site! So glad you and your home are safe. My SIL and family were also blessed and I hope that LaForet, the UCC church camp, is fine. My daughter had the best time there and didn't want to come home after her week at camp.♥♫
ReplyDeleteThey are reporting now 65% contained...much better. It seems like this one was bad with the number of homes destroyed.
ReplyDeleteWe enjoyed our visit to the Maroon Bells - such a beautiful view.
Hi Al...So happy to see your post, was really concerned with what we was hearing on the news!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a terrible outcome for many!!
It is amazing how wonderfully slides scan!!
It is a beauty of a shot!!

Glad your safe, that must of been frightening. Great photo and wonderfully framed too and good colour as well. Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful mountain. Nice shot. Glad to hear your home was spared.
ReplyDeleteHow majestic!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! It's terrible, so many people losing their homes. Glad you are back safe and sound!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo, you have to much fire and we have to much water. I suggest an exchange.
ReplyDeleteOh I was sure glad to see this post Al.
ReplyDeleteAl, I'm so glad your home was spared. We have a friend living in housing on the Air Force Academy, and he was giving us updates. The fire was never close to him. Our forest here in Summit are getting dry now that the snow has melted. We're hoping for rains soon.
ReplyDeleteDon't know how i missed this post, I've been so worried. Heaven help those who lost their homes. If one has never experienced catastrophic losses before, it is a very daunting prospect.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you escaped that fate Al.
It's a beautiful photo, but a sad situation.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear this update, and sorry for those whose homes have been destroyed.
ReplyDeleteA stunning photo to remind us of the beauty rather than the terror of nature.
