The fires near Estes Park, Grand Lake, and Boulder County created stunning views in the skies.

I'm a reading specialist and award winning educator from Chicago. While living in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado for nine years, I spent time hiking on the trails with my Goldendoodle Charlie and friends, writing, working in a literacy program at the Boulder Public Library, and mentoring writers and teachers. I love visiting schools. My books combine STEM and Kindness. "Aliana Reaches for the Moon" a picture book that draws inspiration from the moon and the curiosity of children, inviting children to be creative, explore, and experiment. "An Accidental Hero: A Mostly True Wombat Story" a picture book told in the form of a newscast which skillfully balances the serious subject of forest fires with compassion and humor to help children navigate this important topic through the real events of 2020. I moved to Northern New Jersey in 2025 and am working on new projects. View more posts

It’s surreal and scary. The beautiful thing is how many people are helping displaced people, pets, and livestock.

Yes! Thank you. I moved from
the forest/mountains a few months ago and I’m in a safer location now. Tragic to see the damage and smoke. We were in Estes Park last week. LAST WEEK! Right before all of this happened.

❤ I won't 'click' you a like Laura. These are frightening times we live and perhaps the final opportunity for humans to take responsibility for global warming?……………… good photos though 🙂 .
