This week, we went from our usual battle between blue skies and fog to lots of smoke from wildfires east of us.
On Monday evening, we watched the fog head south, and the smoke arrived. At sunset, clear air was still visible beneath the smoke.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, our air quality was pretty dangerous. The sky varied in color between yellow, pink, and orange. There was lots of ash in the air.
By Thursday, the direction of the wind had changed, so air quality improved, but all the smoke that east winds had pushed past us to the west started drifting back over us.
Today the air quality was better, and the sun was occasionally bright enough to cast shadows through the somewhat smoky fog.
Great opportunity to go fishing. Here is the result.
