Ick! Fall is here!
Autumn has arrived. Windy day with an extreme amount of smoke from wildfires. So far none of the fires are close to Spokane, but the smoke makes you think otherwise.
I've exaggerated the wind somewhat for cartoonic purposes; actually it was gusting to 40 for a while, which is tree-thrashing but not quite branch-breaking.
But I didn't exaggerate the strange smoky light! Here's an actual inside photo with my new digital camera, which I clearly don't know how to use yet..... or else it's just a cheap camera that doesn't do closeups well.
Later: The same scene exactly 24 hours later, after the smoke is gone:
