Smelling Smoke….

Fenway and I rolled out of the condo at 6:30 am and turned toward Lake Michigan. It was a beautiful, calm, cool morning with a slight on-shore breeze. Perfect! The sun was already up and posting a lovely sunbeam across the water….and a sort of soft rainbow of colors…in the hazy smoke.


It’s hard to even imagine that the many western wildfires are colorizing our sunrises and sunsets. It was disturbing to sense the slight “off color” scent in “my” air. I can only imagine what it is like for the people fighting or fleeing the raging wildfires. And I can only imagine how different many of the areas we visited out west in our RV would look now. And I can only wonder if, when the greening recovery will begin to change them back. Hundreds and hundreds of years.

……but I did see a mourning dove, robin and bright yellow goldfinch.
