Smoke on the Dahlia


Smoke on the Dahlia

The smoke made some pics very soft and ethereal in the day. This one was a favorite. I wore a face mask for garden tending.

Wildfires all around. We have 2.4 million acres burnt this year. For three weeks they were in every direction, so no matter the wind direction, we got it. The rain started two weeks ago and stopped it at last and with that dropping the temperature.

They weren't too close. We only protect structures here, so fires are let go. But the smoke was miserable. I took to wearing a facemask.

This is from a six pack planted from seed at the neighboring greenhouse. The variety is called stargazer. Some really nice one, those I saw. A few never started blooming. I've decided the bed I put them in is trouble.....lol.
