Fire behind Bear Peak

After an early spring and an unusually hot June, Colorado has been susceptible to fires (as most people watching the national news now know).  This afternoon, a lightning strike started a fire behind Bear Peak, a few miles west of where I work.  Here are a series of pictures as the fire grew:


We were told to leave work by 6 pm,


so I walked to trivia earlier than usual.


Once night fell, you could see the flames along the edge of Bear Peak.  So far, the fire hasn't started down the other side of the mountain.
