squwetchy Oh sure, you say, after all those pretty flower pictures now you go and post some depressing #dystopian #watercolour scene from a Fallout game or something, but see the thing is this was inspired, colours and all, by a photograph I took this morning of the creek valley filtered through the haze of all that forest #firesmoke, so… put that in your pipe and… well.

8r4d I was kinda hopeful that I would need my #firesmoke hashtag for a few weeks yet, but yet again the pall of burning forests in the north squashed my relatively wee & insignificant #running plans. I was all set to crank out a 12-15k long run this morning (because of scheduling issues for tomorrow) but woke up to a haze and all sorts of cancelled races. I scaled back and just added to my gauntlet in north riverbend instead of a longer adventure.

pixelazy The only filter I used on these plum tree blossoms was the smoke of a million burning dreams. #firesmoke

8r4dsfeets It has rained enough today to finally say it has rained good and proper and maybe even enough to make a difference. The air still smells of #firesmoke tho which just goes to show that as much as it has rained it probably hasn’t rained enough-enough. #rain #weather
