Bright Spot In Seattle's Smokey Haze

Sorry for complaining...But, Seattle is now in its second week of being blanketed in wildfire smoke. The air quality reading at this very minute is at 175 which is unhealthy. I and others are wearing N95 masks when outdoors which are recommended due to the small particulate matter that's in the smokey air. There is some good news...Rain is coming this week end which will clear the air. I'm stir crazy because I walk everyday and usually have my camera with me. Thanks for lending an ear. Take care.

We used to have these blooms too. Gifted by a green-fingered friend, they eventually had to go...very intrusive. Years later I'm still finding more trying to make a comeback. I'm on the case!
