Smokin' Wildfires

Cough, cough all day long. Eyes watering, stinging. As the wind changed direction from east to west, so did the California wildfire. The smoke reached Palm Springs (see picture above).

It was an eerie day, felt surreal, like I was floating on top of my bicycle when I went for a ride at dusk.

The air was thick, yet dry; the sun eclipsed by silvery fumes.

Fire, indeed, creates smoke, which nature takes for ride, clear across the mountains up in the sky.
