Against my better judgement I went out tonight.We have so much forest fire smoke right now that the sun doesn’t shine brightly.Whenever that happens the contrast is weak & the colours less vibrant. I was hoping that the sun would turn to pink.I wanted to get some of my eagle friends in front of that gorgeous pink sun!
Unfortunately mother nature had other plans.The smoke was so thick that it actually snuffed the sun.Normally it’s thick clouds that do that but never just smoke! I’ve never seen smoke block out the sun before!
So I never really got any shots of eagle in front of a pink sun.I went all the way over to Fortune channel tonight looking for bears,but by the time I got back the sun had done the old disappearing trick on me!
So I came back in early.I did get to meet “Scar”! So that was worth the price of admission!
Smoke blotting out the sun happened a number of times in the Ok Valley (with ash falling too). I hope there’s some rain soon.
I imagine it would over there.Having ash fall would be the major factor there & I bet it would stay dark all day too.
I hope the rain is more than the forecast calls for this weekend, and I hope it reaches the interior…
anything at this point would be welcomed!
It is nice to hear the story behind the pictures and the efforts you go to get your photos. I think it adds another dimension to you and your photography. Thanks for sharing.
your welcome Marilyn.I normally stay quiet about what I do & let my pictures speak for themselves.
I rarely wish rain on people but I hope you get some very soon.. xx
ha ha,we live in a rainforest & get about 16 feet per year.Thank you for your wish Sally.It’s suppose to rain this Sunday.
Good to hear Wayne.. xx
I was looking at some pictures of Seattle yesterday – before and after pics of the forest fire smoke. It was just incredible. Surely the madness will end soon – they need our all-day rain here in Michigan which would sure help contain the flames.
yes,too much rain there……not enough here.Goldi-Loks weather is the best.
Well, the rain here stopped and it was sunny out for awhile – really hot though. According to the handy-dandy radar map no storms later, but we are expecting rain again overnight. I wish I could send you some.
we’ll be getting lots of rain soon enough Linda.
Hopefully, it will help the firefighters to tame down the fires then.
We are all waiting for mother nature to put her shoulder to the stone!
Yes, insist she quits lolly-gagging around.
