The Valley filled with smoke

... looking north and a bit west ...

Rebecca took this picture so that you could see what it looks like when the valley is filled with smoke.

There is no seeing Aline Hill, nor the Narrows, and even Old Town is just an image to the north.

There is ash settling everywhere.  Inside the house and out.

Breathing must be terrible for people with respiratory illness for it is hard for those of us who don't have that.

We know the winds or the rain will come and carry this away, but there is always the gentle reminder that nature can't be conquered, only managed.  And then only slightly.
