Smoky Skies

Ottawa is suffering from air pollution, due to forest fires. This was yesterday's warning.
  

As I looked at our hazy skies, they didn't seem all that bad compared to some skies I remember. On one visit to Kelowna BC, where my parents lived, we couldn't see across the lake to the mountain on the other side. I remember taking my mother to a large mall for the day because seniors were advised to stay indoors.

I guess the big difference now is that I'm a senior - and we do have boxes of air-filtering masks if we need to go out.



Fortunately, this morning the air quality has improved greatly. I have new appreciation for refreshing, cleansing rain!
