| Rose - The Firefighter |
 |
| Day lilies - in remembrance and honor
Sometimes the news of the day hits closer to home than usual. My son is a firefighter. Not a hotshot, not on a wildland crew (though he has fought the occasional wildland fire.) But he is a firefighter. And, as I kept hearing today, both danger and safety are a way of life for those who choose to protect the lives and property of others.
The rose shown above is called "The Firefighter". It's a bit weary, as we are experiencing the same heat wave that is going through Arizona. The lilies have spent most of the day in the shade, and thus seem a more fitting tribute - fresher, lovelier, still vibrant with color. My prayers are with those who have lost loved ones...and with those who continue to fight the fire.
