The Air That We Breathe


Wildfires throughout Oregon and Northern California have continued to impact our air quality for over a month now.  In an previous photo I posted, the morning sun appeared as a red ball suspended over the horizon.  These two bicyclers riding by are another illustration of how bad the air has been - people wearing masks is not an uncommon sight.  Despite their wary expressions at a stranger taking their picture, I was able to introduce myself to the couple, Jamshed and Brittany, who graciously and happily assented to being part of this blog.
