sky white not from clouds but smoke that blocks the sun ... no birds sing no winds blows

Constance, congratulations on your win. Have been through wildfire smoke. No fun! Three years ago we had a day of orange light that looked like the apocalypse! Blessings of clear skies to you! Prayers for an end to the wildfires!!

Sam, thank you so much for the congratulations and comment, it is so hot here, and there are so many wildfires out of control in Canada, it is scary, God Bless !

The forest fire smoke is a blanket smothering air. Such a timely write, Constance. Hopefully, the fires will soon be controlled. Take care of yourself. Sincerely, Brian

Brian, thank you so much for the comment, I am in Canada, Ontario, near Quebec where the many wildfires are burning and the smoke is really bad, it blocks out the sun and the day looks like the evening, plus it smells, God Bless !
