Gorgeous pelican shots! I didn't try for it having seen them in the county before but never like this! Did you really have to evacuate for a fire? I don't remember that one. Hate to think of what it will be like next 'foresummer' if we don't have any early rain. Vegetation has gone wild during this monsoon!
Thanks Arlene! Yeah, Mule Pass Fire, started by ADOT near the tunnel where crews were grinding some metal... I was the only one in the canyon, saw the smoke and called our phone tree. They didn't evacuate us right away, so I had some time to prepare...including getting my neighbor's Jeep up to the highway (and later discovered he was only concerned about his golf clubs!). Got pretty festive where we gathered at the highway--I wanted to get a BBQ going...
