The last day of June. The year is half over.
Thankfully, our air is not as bad as it was three weeks ago when our skies were yellow, but the air was at unhealthy levels for everyone in New York State as of yesterday (when I took these pictures). Right now it's 142 (unhealthy for everyone).
This is not the post I wanted to write. Maybe next week I can take you on a small trip we took a couple of weeks ago. For today, we are staying local.
You can barely see clouds, but it isn't near as bad as some other parts of the United States right now. For that I'm grateful.
Along the Susquehanna River.
Contrast with the sky on Tuesday.
Joining up with Yogi and other sky watching bloggers for #SkywatchFriday this last day of June.
...it's smokey here too.
ReplyDeleteSmoke. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteTuesday was great.
ReplyDeleteI am thinking I need to buy an air purifier.
ReplyDeleteWorse than seeing the haze is knowing what caused it. Heartbreaking. You're smart to stay in when it's like that.
ReplyDeleteSorry to say, I know what your going through, and it's no fun. I remember being unable to go out and water the garden (well, I could have, but with toxic air I wasn't going to).
ReplyDeleteI'm coughing and my eyes are watering from just seeing your photos. I hope you get some relief soon. We have had a couple days of smoke but nothing recently.
ReplyDeleteWe had smokey air yesterday. Not sure yet today. Worst fires in Canada's history. Strange.
ReplyDeleteHope your air quality improves soon!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry. It's so icky. Take care. Hopefully it'll blow over soon.
ReplyDeleteI sometimes think what we need is a hurricane - hopefully, not a significantly destructive one and one with no loss of life - but a big wind to blow all of this out into the Atlantic where it can dissipate.
ReplyDeleteI apologize for the smoke! Actually your reflection pictures are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHelps us appreciate how small and vulnerable our world really is when a fire can impact such a large area!
ReplyDeleteThe smoke would have been very damaging to health!
ReplyDeleteAnd their people says there no climate issues.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on, and stay safe.
The air here was so bad, they closed all the outdoor pools.
ReplyDeleteYes, it’s hazy here, and I dread what the fireworks are going to do to the air.
ReplyDeleteLovely sky shots ~ despite the bad air ~

So sorry about the air quality.
ReplyDeleteChicago air has the smoke from Canada too. Closed windows and stayed inside. Today it is raining. Hope things clear up in your area soon.
ReplyDeleteIt got hazy and smelled like something burning last Thursday in Chattanooga, TN. Sure enough, the news reported that it was smoke from Canada.
