the basin – day 190

a particularly calm night so a night shot for a change – be kind, stay safe, be well

the basin – day 189

a rare green for the color of the water – just a unique reflection of the light today – be kind, stay safe, be well

the basin – day 187

living in black and white, the rains have come for autumn – be kind, stay safe, be well

the basin – day 186

being the odd one out yet having a gas – be kind, stay safe, be well

if you look closely in at this photo you will notice the gull leading the geese – it happens sometimes that we need these kinds of change. so, embrace change in that we need to work together even when we differ.

before the sun rise on the last day of summer – be kind, stay safe, be well

the basin – day 182

a day of fresh air – be kind, stay safe, be well

the basin – day 181

the outlines of the distant hills are visible – we saw them yesterday for the first time in a week – be kind, stay safe, be well

the basin – day 180

smoke and fog – we have some visibility – be kind, stay safe, be well

the basin – day 179

clouds are visible this morning – a very nice change – the smoke is slowly clearing from our skies – be kind, stay safe, be well

the skies are beginning to clear though the smoke is still very strong. it tastes horrible and sticks to everything. venturing outside can only be for short excursions. the blue of the sky popped through yesterday and that was lovely.

the two pictures below are both from Sept this year and are both looking in the same direction as this mornings photo. such a difference.

from Step 11, 2020 – our first day of smoke filled skies

this was Sept 3, 2020 before the files of the west coast stifled our air

the basin – day 178

three geese in the grey of the mornings smoke – be kind, stay safe, be well

the smoke continues this morning – a heavy blanket of grey. it rained yesterday and that felt nice. I was thinking this morning as I wondered the beach that the planet will be here long after we are gone, so don’t fret the global warming issues, the planet will be fine and will reboot with new and exciting species. too bad we will, as a species, will not be.
