"Today's Weather Forecast...Smoke!"

Day 232 of 365

This morning in Alberta we woke up to a strange weather forecast...they were forecasting smoke, and they were right. Apparently a strong easterly wind pushed the smoke from the British Columbia forest fires over the Rocky Mountains and into Alberta while we were sleeping. The smell of the smoke was so strong that it was like there was a campfire right outside the front door. The smoke is now reaching all the way to Ontario and Maine!

"Going Down in Flames"

Day 230 of 365

My sunflowers are dying a lot more quickly than they were supposed to. I thought these orange ones looked like flames going down in all their glory. At least now they are a little more mood appropriate.

"Goddess Country"

Day 227 of 365

I've never seen anything as beautiful as this, I could just sit there all day and soak it all in. This is the Goddess in all her glory! What a beautiful country we live in! Now I remember why I moved out west. To see it all as it was meant to be...no concrete jungles and skyscrapers...just natural beauty.
