whether weather never and what ever

I <3 the days of overcast skies.
There was/is this huge wildfire that burned for days just west of us. It was so large that a firetruck got too close to it and the flames sprang onto the truck. The firefighters lept off and the fire consumed the entire firetruck.

That was last week's news.

Now this beautiful haze has drifted overhead filtering the direct sunlight (which I hate)the filtered light has cast an orange light onto everything. I feel like I'm living in sepia it's beautiful.

The sunset was a magnificent pink orange and red. I know what Cocteau Twins meant now.

I hope this system stays trapped above us for now. If it does decide to move off, I hope that those clear skies only return overnight so I can watch the Perseids Meteor Shower. (08/12-13/10)link

it's going to be an exceptional display this year. I'll head up to the highest peak to see if I have to.
