Smoky Moonrise

 

9/8/24 Maple Leaf neighborhood

Although we were lucky all summer and experienced very little wildfire smoke, we had several days of some smoke last week that brought the air quality rating down to “moderate.” That level is not much of a concern to healthy people, but it was enough to give the light an eerie yellow tint all day. Glancing out the window Sunday evening, I caught a spooky orange moon rising. Even as I sketched, smoke or clouds blurred its crescent shape.
