From 2000 miles away (!), the smoke from the wildfires reached my town on Wednesday. This was taken about 9am. It was a little lighter than this photo, but there was a clear reddish haze over the whole town. (The sunset the night before was even more spectacular, but I didn't get a shot.)
No longer middle aged, and no longer taking pictures every day....but cannot quit yet.

Middle, middle. Middle-aged, middle America. I just like taking...
