Morning in Paradise...

Morning in Paradise...  Miki (already less resplendent), Race, and I took our usual morning walk, but it was harder than usual.  The air this morning is notably worse than yesterday; the smoke is now thick enough to feel raw on the throat, and it made my eyes water.  When we started out on our walk, the sun was over the Wasatch Mountains, but was a red ball so dim I could look directly at it.  By the time we were done with our walk, it was a bit brighter, but the day still looked like a heavily overcast day.  In the last photo you can't really see the Wellsville Mountains (west of us) at all, whereas normally they are so clearly visible you don't realize they're 15 to 20 miles away.  It will be nice indeed when this smoke clears off...
