Leander Wildfire Labor Day

The last two days central Texas has been burning with wildfires.  The largest fire so far is in Bastrop, a fire of biblical proportions.  There is also a fire about a mile or two from where we live, in Steiner Ranch that has also been burning since yesterday afternoon.  Early this evening a fire was burning in Leander, here are a couple pictures I shot on the way home tonight.  This smoke is from the Leander fire.  It was mostly white smoke and in the first image you can see the darker smoke as well.  If you looked over the horizon on the other side of the sky you can also see smoke from the massive Bastrop fire.
