Smoke gets in your eyes...

...and nose and lungs. Canadian fires episode 2 day 2.

[Susan Wakely]

Such poor air quality I am sure. Just watching fires in the USA & Europe on the News.

[Kathy]

@wakelys Indeed it is.

[Madeleine Pennock]

The colours are very muted and would make the beginnings of an abstract painting, should you be so inclined!

[Pyrrhula]

The reason is to bad/sad. Hope we willl find some solutions to prevent those fires in future

[Dawn]

Sure not good for health hope it starts to clear

[Babs]

How awful. The downside of summer are endless bushfires.

[katy]

Oh my goodness! I had no idea they were impacting you like this. It gives nice layers to your photo, but I’m sure it’s not worth it in the long run.

[Taffy]

Air quality has been so bad! I feel so fortunate at the winds we've had that have semi-protected the island.

[Issi Bannerman]

Oh dear. Nice journal shot though.

[JackieR]

Oh dear, that looks bad ( scene, not photo)

[Wylie]

the smoke does look awful

[~*~ Jo ~*~]

Hope it begins to clear soon.

[Renee Salamon]

It’s pretty horrible - we came through the grey haze on our descent to Montreal

[william wooderson]

Oh no. I'm so sorry. What terrible times we're living in, honestly...

[Karen]

It’s incredible that these fires just seem to be keeping on keeping on. I’m so sorry about this; for animals, people, everything. It’s quite alarming, all this weird stuff going on.

[bkb in the city]

Very smoky. Stay safe

[Margaret Brown]

Not so good, stay safe

[Kathy A]

I hope it doesn’t start to affect your health

Thank you everyone for your comments. If it's hard to breathe hear I can only imagine what more northerly places are experiencing. We had heavy rain and winds last evening so the skies are much clearer today.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I see it and I feel it! I've thought that too- how bad must it be closer to the source? My thoughts are definitely with them!

[haskar]

Sad view. It's hard to live in such an atmosphere. It's very depressing.

[Kathy]

@olivetreeann @haskar Thanks to both of you for your kind words and heartfelt comments.

[summerfield]

uh-oh, we didn't start the fire! i wish that song would leave my head already. sorry about the smoke. didn't mean to share that with you. 😜

[Kathy]

@summerfield Not your fault. All Mother Nature I suspect. But I do like that song anyway.
