Smoky post #2
Here's three more pictures from Thursday. I posted yesterday about the red-alert causing smoke here in the Triad area of NC. The first two pictures below illustrate what it looked like in my back yard.
This first picture looks over from my backyard to my neighbor's side yard (behind the hedge of trees). The yellowish aspect of the atmosphere in the picture was real. The air looked like that. You can see just a glimmer of the sun through the smoke. The low light made it seem more like 8pm than 5pm.
This second picture illustrates how the visibility dropped off with distance. You can see the trees in my backyard quite clearly, the shed in the next yard starts to get fuzzy then the neighbor's house across the street is fuzzier still. And the trees behind that house get quite indistinct. Not quite pea soup but the effect was as strong as the morning fogs we get here most days.
...and for those crazy folk that like cats, this one belongs to my neighbor across the street from me. He was making himself appear quite at home on my front porch. Looks comfy, doesn't he?
This is the fellow that is a good hunter. He's gotten quite a few birds that I've seen and more than a few rabbits. In fact just yesterday I saw him with a baby bunny. I got a couple of pictures but they're rather blurry since the cat was trotting briskly along with the bunny in his mouth.

That definitely looks like one content cat!
