Photography->Fire
This is the street behind me.. because of all the trees in everyones gardens and the dry grass, plus a wind, one tiny spark could have been a catastrophe... thanks to the Firebrigade and the helicopters they did a wonderful job stopping it from reaching the houses... it was pretty intense from about 3pm to about 1am, it's still burning but has died down a lot, i'll be going out and take pics of whats left, and look for injured animals (lots of wildlife in there)... Thankyou everyone for all your concerns, we are all OK....

Unfortunately there wasnt much greenery due to the drought they grass was very very dry, it does the bush good to have a fire every so often it gets rid of the dry dead grass and brings out new green grass..

Well I'm sure glad you are all fine and they took such good care of homes and families. Our thoughts are with you Jackie and I really hope you don't find too many injured animals because I know it'll break your heart. My thoughts and prayers are with you sweetie and you take care and just be thankful it wasn't worse. John

Very intense Jac! Great job capturing this! You were very lucky, as I'm sure you well know. It could have been a lot worse! I too, hope you don't find many injured animals. I'm very happy to know that you're okay..=)

I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.

Friends are like shining stars. You may not always see them, but you know they are always there for you.
Oh dear! I hope there were no fatalities!....Fires like this are truly horrendous....Ypu have portrayed this very well..and it gives us a better insight to what dangers that fires can cause!...........

VERY SCARY. You are wonderfully kind-hearted to go out searching for injured animals at such a dangerous and frightful time. Be careful!

Picture Purrrfect .
A purrrfect world is what we all want, but, seems too unobtainable. If I've viewed and commented on your post, and you liked my remarks then NO THANKS is needed...just getting to see your wonderful work is thanks enough for me!!
Also BIG thanks to all who check out my work!! I appreciate any and all comments & feedback!!
What a scare Jacqueline!! It's been very dry where I am too which is settled right in the middle of the woods! I've often thought how horrendous it would be to go through what you have the past few days!! I'm so glad no one was injured or worse and your home is safe and sound! You got some incredible shots of the fire by the way. Sounds like you need some much needed R & R! Vicky

This is a awesome set of images, but it is a shame about the fires. The drought is terrible and it doesnt seem to be letting up. This coming summer is going to testful I think. We have had some rain of late but not to much as it has come down in buckets and most of it flows away into the drains. I have added these to my favs. Excellent capture.

Suicide is man's way of tell God "YOU CAN'T FIRE ME I QUIT."

wow..lucky indeed. this is a great capture, but at what cost? hopefully your search is an unfruitful one. and yes, glad you're in one piece.

I saw a peanut stand, heard a rubber band,
I saw a needle that winked its eye.
But I think I will have seen everything
