holy smoke

No fire threat to this property, yet this is how it is this morning - this is smoke not fog. Deep in winter and it's short sleeves, high temperatures, drought and bushfires everywhere. Unbelievable, yet governments sign on continuing destruction of as much environment as possible. Rant over, so sad today.
Oh this is heart-breaking to see you're living with the effects of this as well! And how shocking YOUR winter drought and our summer drought have brought us to this... I worry about the seasons as they change in six months and for how long this can go on! But then, there's enough to worry about today...so sad...

@Weezilou I'm just hoping it will mean less summer fires if a lot of undergrowth burns out now. have to find an upside somewhere

Nice capture even though it's a smokey haze...Today, Seattle's smokey haze caused by in-state and out-of-state wildfires is starting to diminish.

@koalagardens You do have a point, and we will all pray that you're correct!

Is there anything you can do to protect the property against those fires? It’s so worrisome to see the smoke of those fires and there is notting you can do about it. It is indeed very sad to think about those things, nowing that gouverments do almost notting

such a worry and so early in the season. We are worried where we are and water is scarce! Hate the smell of bushfires !

@jacqbb not really - only make sure you do things to protect the house, but out in the bush when a fire comes along eucalypts to up fast as they have a high oil content. yes governments know we are changing the climate, but they are not going to slow anything down sadly.
