I was so busy trying to take a picture of the flames across the lake that I overlooked the fires all along the mountain ridges above my house. At 1:30 in the morning, the smell of smoke has permeated my house and given me a splitting headache.  You can see the size of the flames by  using the tree in the lower right hand corner for scale.  If a person were standing near the flames, they could not be seen by the naked eye.  No, we are not in any danger.  The fires haven’t descended down the mountain and almost every house here has teja roofs and is constructed of stucco, brick or concrete.  There are a few palapa roofs.  Let’s hope the fire stays high on the ridges.

    I have been able to look out my bedroom windows and out on my small balcony and see fires in the distance behind Buena Vista and out at Atequiza..Ixtlahuacan had a huge one the other day also..

    Tried to get more tonight. The entire top range is on fire and fire working its way down. There are fires all the way to Ajijic and Mt. Garcia is still burning…

    Wow!! Didn’t realize that Garcia was burning also..aside from the smoke damage it has to be really interesting at night to see the glow. When the rains come everything will be all lush again. Nature taking care of herself..love it.
