Pat,
Thank you for your sweet words. I take pics for the fire department; at times it's difficult watching my boys in the situations are are in. But I put my trust in their training and God's Hands...

Crystal, this is a very eye-catching image, great colors and lots of details to spot. I also like how you did the border. As a Mom, I know we all worry about our children, but you have the added worry of their profession. Having many friends in both Fire & Police professions (I was a dispatcher for many years), I can share your concern, I tremble every time I hear a siren and always say a prayer for them when I do. I will add your sons to my prayers! #2273572

Corinne,
Thank you so much...my boys are on a volunteer fire department and they receive no pay for their long hours and dedication. My youngest son is not only a fireman, but a sheriff's deputy. He was on the fire department at 18 yrs old, a sheriff's deputy at 21 yrs. It's in their blood, my father was a fire fighter. Scares me when I hear the sirens...I know someone's life has been changed. The last fire call today was at 3:00 p.m. mst, a car wreck, whereup this very truck was at the scene. Thank you so much. Be safe..
