Thanks for stopping by this week for Nature Friday!
This
week I, Rosy, and here to show you a different side of nature. Here in our part of Blogville sometimes nature can be "not so nice". The wildfires in the area are a good example of this. Most of the wildfires in our area were caused by natural causes and, like Arty mentioned a couple of weeks ago, they bring a bunch of smoke. Last week brought a good example, so I asked Mama to take som pictures so we could share what it looks like.
Mama says it's like the smoke is acting like an orange-y pink filter on the world!
The mornings, when the sun was trying to burn through the smoke and fog, were pretty spooky
In the bottom right hand corner of this shot, you can see some blue sky just our of reach!
Needless to say, the air quality was yucky...and we didn't get any long walks all week!
We are so sorry for any inconvenience we caused by having the link up late...
Show

we are so sad that this fires destroy so much things... and we send lots of POTP to all people and pets... and to da wildlife...
ReplyDeleteGail, who has had two planned cycling trips in the NW USA substantially disrupted by wildfires, is always telling me how horrid it is to have to breathe that nasty smoky air. We send loads of POTP to all the people and animals (and trees) affected, in ways great or small, by the fires.
ReplyDeleteToodle pip!

We think these wildfires are just awful and very scary. We send lots of POTP to the peeps and the animals also.
ReplyDeleteA couple weeks ago when the fires were at their worst, we had hazy days where the sun and blue skies couldn't quite break through, but it was up high and didn't change our air quality. It is so very sad to see everything burning. A real tragedy.
ReplyDeleteDearest Niece Rosy Mama called it right on the photos of the the sunshine working very hard to shine. You dear one look 87 kinds of adorable in your bandana and hairbow. Aunty HiC is smiling Hugs your Aunty.
ReplyDeleteEven in the skies with the fires there is beauty, but we would rather see the kind of beauty that won't kill you. We weren't able to join the blog hop...not even following the link at the end of your post. Can you help?
ReplyDeleteSometimes that smoke travels all the way to us in WNY. By then it's so high up that we can't smell it. But it turns the sky white and hazy. We hope those fires will stop soon, and hope you and your family stay safe.
ReplyDeleteso much smoke here too and no end in sight
ReplyDeleteWe hope all those fires can end soon. It does make for some spooky pictures though. We have our paws crossed for everyone effected by the fires.
ReplyDeleteThose fires are sure scary sweet Rosy but I'm glad y'all are safe.
ReplyDeleteOh my, that's a whole lotta smoke! I hope those yucky fires go away soon!
ReplyDeleteThe smoke was awful for sure. It's much better today and I'm happy about that.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day and weekend. Scritches to all the pups and my best to your mom. ♥
The photos are amazing even if the smoke and fires are so awful. We have some family in southern California and they have the same problem with the smoke smell. We have actually had some pretty hazy skies here too due to all that smoke. At night sometimes we can even smell it. We send lots of POTP and prayers for all those affected by the devastating fires.

Fires are so destructive
ReplyDeleteI am sorry you are living with smoky skies. I hope this isn't the new normal.
ReplyDeleteWe are sorry you are living with the smoke but grateful the fires have not reached you. ,day has a good friend whose sister lost everything in the Paradise fire and have had be be evacuated again in the night recently. Fortunately this time the fire missed. Be safe.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen wild fires and hope to never do. I can only imagine what it will do to anybody's airways.

We know just what you're going through, Rosy and send our best thoughts and prayers out your way where it's so much worse than it is here even though there are still 3 fires burning. Stay safe and know we're thinking of you all.
