  • I was in Idaho this summer when there were fires all around the area. Not close enough to evacuate, but we had to stay indoors just to be able to breathe. Happy WW!

  • It IS a beautiful area, normally….I’ve been there many times! Isn’t that just way too sad? I feel deep compassion for all the Californians!!!

  • It will be nice to have our skies back. It’s much better this week, but still hazy. When things are clear, it’s hard to stop drinking in the beauty.

    Amazing, in a scary way.

  • A very unique picture of the sky with the smoke for WW. Thanks for sharing this.

  • Goodness! I hope that the air quality isn’t tearing up anyone’s lungs.

  • That was a whole lot of smoke!!

    I live in an area prone to forest fires. A few years ago there was a monster to the west of us that burned over 450k acres. The ash drifted for many miles and coated everything. It was weird to be outside, the skies were orange and the ash floated down like snowflakes.

    A few good rains will scour all the crud out of the sky. If only it was able to erase everything everyone in your region has been through in the past 10 days.

    Thanks for the before and after pictures… the after is definitely better.

    Happy WW!! Happy Halloween,too!

  • What a huge difference! It was like that up here at the lake this summer during our fire. I hope it blows out soon!
