This was the view from the deck two days ago ...
this was the view when I got up this morning..
Thick haze from wildfires burning in Washington state, Oregon and California blanketed British Columbia’s south coast again on Saturday.
Metro Vancouver warned that thick smoke, which had moved over the Pacific, was forecast to move north and cover the entire region.
“Be prepared for possible darkened and orange skies.”
According to IQAir, which claims to operate the world’s largest free real-time air quality information platform, Vancouver briefly had the worst air quality of any major city on earth, while other platforms showed the region’s air quality as bad but not the worst.
British Columbia’s own Air Quality Health Index readings listed air quality for Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley, Nanaimo and southern Vancouver Island as 10+, or “very high risk.”
I cannot begin to imagine how devastating it must be for those thousands who are much closer to the horrific fires all along the Pacific west coast!!
I had planned to take the kayak out today but went to Plan B instead......
For those interested Plan B was...
Watch a great live soccer game from England....
Followed by watching the women’s final from New York which was a thrilling encounter..boy do they ever hit that ball hard!!
I then took Boomer out to hike around Westwood Lake
.....normally on a summer sunny day the area would be packed but very few people out...
This was taken on our last hike here a couple of weeks ago...
And today...
very eerie!!
Now going to settle down and watch another live hockey game...
Enjoy this...
Stay safe and healthy!!
Yashi Kochi!!
