2 Weeks now of Smokey Haze

As Murray McLaughlin sang.....If the wind could blow our troubles away - I would stand in  a hurricane....   This wildfire smoke has really changed the face of summer these past 2 weeks.  No wind to move the smoke away and no rain to clear the air.  Good news is the weather forecast is that ocean breezes will arrive tomorrow bringing  winds to blow the smoke and also bringing RAIN!   We have not had a drop of rain since June 20th.  The garden is fried and the pond is near dry.  The upside is that I continue to practice taking smoke reflected photos of the sunsets.  The colours of reflected sun on the smoke particles never cease to amaze me.
