firefighters overlooking wildfire smoke

four firefighers taking a break after the palos verdes wildfire had been put out... overlooking the moving smoke hovering above the water... and ashes were still falling and flying all over...

as you might've heard, we're having a massive breakout of wildfires here in southern california, affecting all four counties (santa barbara, orange, riverside, and los angeles)... thousands of homes lost over the three days of burning, and unhealthy air has been spreading across the southland . it's deeply heartbreaking learning the devastating stories of victims of the wildfires... i'm so thankful that all my relatives and friends are okay. please keep those affected by this series of wildfires in your thoughts and prayers. and if you could spare some monetary donations, you may do so to the red cross disaster relief fund helping the victims of the wildfires. thank you soooo so much dear friends!! *big hugs*
