The state of New York has been seeing a lot of haze over the last few days due to the Canadian wildfires.

In the Binghamton area, the air quality has been around 130, rated “moderate” by my weather app, and it’s suggested that those with certain health issues stay inside.

Personally [and possibly TMI], I’ve been blowing my nose a lot more, and my snot has been cloudy with the particulates from the air.

At night, the moon has been glowing an eerie red-brown through the haze..

    Such a sad reason for something to be mystical and beautiful!

    The changes in the West – and their impact on humanity – feel frightening at times. We can’t just stand by and talk about it; we have to act. And maybe the best way to begin is with small steps, right here, right now, in the place where we live.

    I’ve felt the force of the weather myself. A storm here in Sweden recently left me anxious and uneasy. Nature’s power has a way of reminding us how small we really are – and how important it is to take care of the world around us.

    In the end, perhaps the greatest change begins not with grand

    That’s an awesome photo of the moon. The full moon is coming on Saturday. Even in Eastern Ontario (Ottawa area) we are experiencing heat warnings, haze and Air Quality Statements due to smoke blowing in from the western forest fires. The daytime haze and the shrieking cicadas increases my body’s perception of the heat. The climate conditions and news from the US can become overwhelming. We do what we can in our own communities and regions to adapt.

    Wildfire smoke is never fun, but neither are the fires and evacuations. This year after 2 smoke filled summers we are in better luck. Hope the smoke (and the fires) stop soon.
