Fire Season 2015 winds down as monsoon flexes muscles. I scramble for photo ops.

My boss told me today that we close the lookout on July 24. Tentatively. But with the rains we are getting, most likely. I am way behind on my "photo-quoto." But today was good. The hawks must have heard my lament. They showed up at the lookout early, and played all morning. The monsoonal sunrise was great. As was sunset during a storm.

It is almost like shift work. Two shifts. Early April 'til early July in the US SW (Arizona-New Mexico) forests, and early July 'til late September in the Pacific Northwest (California does not count, because they have badass fires all year). Too bad it is not perfectly predictable, with no overlap. But, then again, I came to Arizona for a shorter season (which it has been, marginally). And a season where I could get back home to the Carolinas before the end of summer. A 7/24 shutdown date for the lookout makes me as happy as a clam! I'll see Nancy this weekend (she is coming to the lookout for a long 4th weekend), but I need to see sweet Nick-Nick!
