Smokey Skies

Because of all the recent wildfires in the area, we have have had some pretty hazy and smokey skies.  Evenings are the worst, probably because the wind picks up more.  I took Chewy out the other night before bed and came back inside smelling like smoke.  It's really sad to think about all the homes and properties being destroyed.  My heart goes out to the firefighters and rescue personel as well.  This is, unfortunately, just another sign of the times.

this is the sun in the evening sky with orange-red smoke covering it

here is the moon also looking very orange from the smoke
(it was actually very red a few hours prior but had faded by the time I took the picture)
