Juniper, Fire, and a Firebomber.

From Crimson Clupidae:

Anyway, One of my favorite old dead trees (desert Juniper) from Madera canyon.

The campfire picture is a fun study in contrasts. The only difference between the two shots is using the flash or not. I really like the look of the glowing/burning embers.

This particular aircraft (a 747-400) is converted into a firebomber, and I think is currently the largest firebomber in the world. You can read more about it here: http://fireaviation.com/tag/747/

Velma and Rémy. Velma is only a week younger than Rémy, but she’s Violette’s babe, and Violette is a ‘small’ rat. (She’s not small now, Vi is a serious eater.) Velma seems to have mum’s appetite, so I expect she’ll catch up soon enough. Click for full size.
