The smoke from the fires has been so bad lately that I've been avoiding long walks, which has cut into my photography explorations quite a bit. But thankfully today the air was much more clear and I was able to get in a nice long adventure, which resulted in this photo that I now get to share with you. I remember this from previous fires, but this has been a big reminder for me to never take blue skies and clean air for granted. It's the type of thing that I tend to not recognize how important it is until it's gone.
