Smoke From A Distant Fire

The Sandias and the City of Albuquerque covered by smoke from the Trout Fire in the southwesten part of the state near Silver City this morning.

It was a hot one. The high today was supposed to be 102º F (38.9º C), but on the street it was 117º F (47.2º C) according to my car’s thermometer that records the outside temperature.

I found new Spunk Art when I got home this afternoon.

Jake and I went out for a walk at golden hour. The afternoon breezes had cleared out the smoke that covered the Sandias this morning.

Cotton blowing in the breeze at golden hour.

The low sun turned the brown leaves on the trees gold.

I walked out to talk to Daddy Owl who was on the nest in Susan’s tree hooting up a storm. It was too dark to get a photo of him, but the orange dusk was begging to be photographed, and Jupiter was in Gigi’s tree.
