eerie sunrises the past few days as
ms
we continue to experience the smoke
from the Canadian forest fires
weather app said clear skies
but what that really meant
was we had no clouds
from a nearby fence post
a meadowlark sings benediction
greeting the dawn of this new day
from a place of prayer, hope
and a heart of gratitude
I accept the gifts offered
Happy Birthday Sheree!!!

“Eerie” is the perfect description. Is there any end in sight?
Monte Stevens
The end probably comes when nature brings rain and cool weather. Thanks, for stopping by and chatting.

It makes you realize that no one suffers a disaster alone, and there are always other seen and unseen affected souls.
Still, for all the source’s misery, it made for a noteworthy photo.

You make a very good point, my friend! We all pay the price of our actions. However, some are not yet aware of that. One thing forest fires offer is a diffusion filter providing an orange globe in the sky.

It seems a bit early for fires and smoke. Hopefully it is not a preview of summer. We are definitely seeing the signs of our climate problem. Will it convince the people with the ability to influence change to do so? That is the question, and I’m not hopeful.
As Earl indicated, the smoke can add some interest to a dawn and sunset sky, for sure.

Seems these fires in Canada have been burning for awhile. If not mistaken Russia had also had some major fires up north, burning out of control. It’s world wide problem. All I can do is start with myself, do what I can to reduce my carbon impact. I cannot wait for those who can make major changes but take my own steps.
