This is going to be a summer to remember, all over the world. From the extreme weather to the extreme measures some governments are taking in an abuse of power, it will not soon be forgotten.
The extreme heat we have been subjected to in our corner of the world has filled the skies with smoke from hundreds of fires, many of which are out of control. Two towns have burned to the ground in our Province of B.C. , one of them not far from where my brother lives- they have been on evacuation alert for most of the summer. Very stressful.
Clear skies are a blessing these days, as we haven't seen many of them. This is our typical sunrise:
My camera didn't capture the red of the sun, only the red aura around it.
Last night I got this shot of the setting sun, much closer to the actual colour.
The smoke has kept me from a lot of activity this summer, and proximity of fire had me cancel a trip I planned to go and see Shayla and the rest of the Diamond Lazy H herd. Looks like I won't get to see Derby before he leaves for his new home. Probably a good thing though, because I know I'd fall in love with him and regret selling him!
Summer is always about the flowers, and I was happy to see the bees are as happy with my flowers as I am- I have heard that it's been a tough year for bees.
