photo by me

I get a phone call. I check the caller ID. It’s my brother-in-law, Robert.

He calls to tell me to look out my window. The sunset is amazing, he says. Robert always calls me with great photo opportunities, of which I’m greatly honored.

I look out. Yeah. There’s something cool happening out there.

I run out with not one but two cameras. Hey, a girl has to be prepared, you know.

I’m shooting away.

I go back inside. There’s a message on my phone. It’s my brother-in-law. I call back.

“Kooper has a name for one of your pictures.”

“He does? What is it?”

“As we were driving, he pointed up to the sky and asked, ‘What is that fire in the sky, Daddy?’ So, you need to call one fire in the sky.”

And I did.
