The Sun Shines Through a Smokey Sky

We were back to air quality warnings today but they weren't as bad as that first influx of smoke in June. This time there was more sunshine than smoke- but it was still tough to breath.

For today's word: sunshine

[Dorothy]

We were also! I used an old photo!

[Diana]

Amazing that you still have smoke, lovely shot of the sun peeking through.

Great perspective and capture.

[Wylie]

That does look unpleasant. Hope it clears soon.

[Joan Robillard]

Oh boy another problem I am glad we aren't experiencing this summer.

It is such a shame on so many levels, but it does make pretty photos like this one

[Renee Salamon]

Good to see the sun getting through but no fun to have to be inside

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Nice shot and we are having the same problem, Ann.

[LManning (Laura)]

I apologize on behalf of Canada for your breathing challenges. :-(

[Harry J Benson]

Hopefully the aqi will improve

[Kathy]

Heavy here yesterday and today.

[Pyrrhula]

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

[Rob Z]

I really like this Ann - I like the half and half feel with the two halves being so different. :)

[Islandgirl]

Oh no hope it clears soon, so sorry to hear you're having difficulty breathing Ann.
We've been fortunate this month we've had no smoke!

[haskar]

This is sad view but beautiful capture.

[bkb in the city]

Great capture. Thankfully our smoke is gone now

[KWind]

Nice capture!

Thank you so much everyone for your care and concern! It was better today and when it's like this, I just stay inside as much as I can and try not to overexert myself when I'm outside. It's really the first time in my life I've had to pay attention to things like this- but I chalk it up to age, and of course, to surviving covid. There are a lot of folks who are far more worse off than I am so I thank the good Lord for seeing me through and do the best I can.

I'm glad to hear some of you are past the heaviest smoke. Ours comes and goes depending on the air movement above. There were advisories again today but the smoke was barely visible.

@ljmanning Awww Laura- that's sweet of you!

[Diane]

Interesting colors in the sky--sorry it's due to the smoke. Also sorry you are having problems with it. Hope it dissipates soon.
