A Moose in the snow. 

I have to admit, I haven’t been up Poudre Canyon since the fire. I honestly don’t know if I can stomach it. I went up to Belair and saw the destruction. All the childhood memories I have there are completely burned to a crisp. I wanted to take my nephews camping there so they could have the same amazing memories I do. But there’s hardly a campground left. I had to evacuate my parents as the fire creeped up the mountain. That was on my birthday. I was so scared. Scared for us, scared for our community, scared for the wildlife. I want to get up to the Poudre and see everything with my own eyes, but I’m not ready yet.

An unexpected smokey sunset in Broomfield this evening. The air is thick and ash has begun to fall - it is possible that this is blowing south from the Cameron Peak fire, almost 100 km north of here. - - - #forestfires #cameronpeakfire #cameronpeak #sunset #fire #smoke #frontrange #broomfield #Colorado #broomfieldColorado #october #autumn #2020 (at Broomfield, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGa-E6MjaIF/?igshid=1ih19s9qiiy63
