Wildfires Tuesday - June 24, 2008

Today was another "stay inside" day. I opened the front door and it smelled like a campfire was burning in my front yard. The air was hazy and when I looked to my left at the foothills, everything was gray... a big cloud of smoke. Sadly, this is the third time in 3 weeks we've had bad air quality due to the wildfires. And, it's expected to stay hazy and gray for a while. Apparently there are over 1,000 wildfires in CA right now.

Here’s a photo I took two weeks ago when the evening smoke made the sky turn crazy-pretty colors. Two of the recent fires have been just on the other side of the foothills in this photo.
