    Out here on the Left Coast, we're burning up. On top of that, an unusual weather pattern shifted the winds to E/NE and blew the smoke from the major wild fires in WA down thru the Gorge into the Willamette Valley. 40 miles south of here, it's dark all day.
    Yesterday, it got dark around 5. Today started sunny, then deteriorated. Fires are breaking out all over, due to the winds of 20-60 mph. There's one about 10 miles west of me, burning fast. That was visible until about 3, when this blew in

        Glen, most of these fires are 5-200 miles away, just their smoke is blowing in on extra strong winds. Most of the smoke is aloft. The wind situation should change to a normal SW to NE flow tomorrow, so all that smoke will be headed to North Dakota, or Canada

        So, no danger here

          My wife's mother passed away last week and we flew down to La Marque TX this weekend to spend time with her sister and have a small memorial service at home. While there we all went out to Galveston Island on Sunday then I went back on Monday morning before dawn. Figured I'd share a couple of pictures

                    meh. The focus is soft. But didn’t have time to grab the Nikon. Best I could do with the phone. Sometimes you just have to get the shot.

                        We got all kind of critters ‘round here. The Yellow Garden Spiders are usually outside. With the night getting cooler this one set up shop INSIDE the garage.

                          We managed a few hour drive with the RV to Kokanee Glacier Park for a few days. Going stir crazy hanging around home and with my now only semi buggered knee (feeling much better now) managed a short hike down into this river bed in an old growth forest for a few shots.

                            One of my many hobbies is photographing lighthouses. We don't normally go way out of our way to see them but if we are close we go. We have gotten over 90 so far but seeing there are like 780 just in the USA we are going to have to retire and do some traveling. Recently got the Fire Island lighthouse on the south shore of Long Island.

                              Nice. We have a few in Jersey. The Twin Lights are decommissioned, and the grounds now serve a a museum. The public is allowed into one of the towers. If I recall correctly, the original and massive light is on display in the museum. There's another lighthouse across the highway on Sandy Hook.

                                Apparently the smoke from the west coast has reached the east. The skies have been a blue gray slate color, and sunrise for the last two days looked like this.,
