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 47

an amazing calm this morning on the basin

Hard to believe that it is just shy of 50 days of self isolation – when I started this morning pictures, i thought it would be a nice footnote to note the mornings on the basin and at best a few weeks – looks like it will be a new reality of distancing and slowing our never ending pace settings of days, weeks and years.
