Here is my entry for this week’s Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge with the topic of Waiting ENJOY.
This is an appropriate topic for me right now. The smoke from the wild fires have been really bad. It is quiet outside, birds are not chirping, people are staying inside, even the traffic is quieter than normal. I’m just waiting for the fires to clear as well as the air. I have no ambition to do anything, or even blog. The smoke is starting to effect me. So if I don’t get to all your comments, please excuse me. I’ll pick up again when the air clears.
I just noticed that all of these men I photographed had hats on.
Gentlemen waiting for a drizzle to stop.
A distinguished gentleman waiting for something.
A young man waiting.

Between hurricanes and fires I’m holding so much of the country in my thoughts and meditations. Stay safe. I’m enjoying the orange flowers in the meantime.

I happen to really like orange flowers … I take any excuse for a pattern. 😀 I’m totally save from the flames. I’m just getting lots of smoke and some ash.

We’re seeing smoke and ash from wildfires down here in Tacoma, WA, as well. It’s saddening as well as frightening.

It is saddening and scary all at the same time. Stay indoors and safe.

The young man on the tractor might well represent all of us in the Western states. Today is the first Blue Sky day of note in the last 2 weeks down here.
Be well,

We had a couple of days of respite, but last night the smoke came back with a vengeance. Planned to go shopping today, but started to feel lightheaded, so instead I closed the doors and windows I’d opened last night to cool the house down and went back to bed. I’m sure it was too much smoke getting me. I don’t know how the firefighters and people closer to the fires get through it. Stay inside, Cee, and take it easy.

I always find it incredible how far smoke will travel. While in Wyoming, we had one terribly smoky day when it felt as if the fire were just over the next rise, waiting to consume us, where in reality, it was in British Columbia or somewhere like that! Praying the fires are under control soon!!

Hi Janet, I’m sure in Wyoming you’ve had some smoke too. Enjoy your fresh air.

Cee, I’ve been back for a few weeks now, but we did have some smoke while I was there. One day was so bad it seemed as if the fire were very close to us. The rest of the time, it was generally quite good.

The winds are supposed to shift today and push some of the smoke eastward. I hope they can get these fires contained SOON. Yes, very scary!

They’ve extended the bad air quality now through Friday. Winds aren’t shifting where I live. I hope you are doing fine.

We’re staying indoors as much as possible. It’s hard on the pets, too, so they’re not very happy to be stuck inside. A small price to pay, though, considering what others are going through.

Our cats aren’t nearly as active. I’m not seeing anyone walking their dogs or being outside. The only traffic is people working. It is eerily quiet.
