Smoke

This has been a very smokey summer for us in B.C. We have had forest fires burning everywhere. It got so smokey here that I started to feel very clausterphobic at one point! It was hard to breathe and all of our throats and noses hurt.

This is what it usually looks like off of our back deck -



This is what it looked like when it was smokey -


There were even a few days that were worse than this but I didn't even want to go outside to take a picture!

Luckily we've had some rain and cooler weather and the fires have died down considerably.

SO that's where all the smoke was coming from. They told us that the smoke in our skies was from that general direction. I feel so bad for you, as it was pretty bad here. I can only imagine how worse it was there. Here's to clearer skies for the both of us!
