Hazy Fourth

Downtown Denver in a haze around 7pm.

This morning we woke up to a haze across the horizon as far as the eye could see. It was so thick that, from our area, we could not see the mountains or downtown Denver. It was really weird because we couldn't smell smoke but the sky was smoky. We spent the afternoon with some friends down in Columbine; delicious hot dogs, turkey burgers, homemade cobbler and good conversation. On our way back home it seemed like the haze had become thicker; ominous. I jumped online once I got home to find out what the haze was coming from because I thought most of the Colorado fires were under control. I found out it was from fires in Wyoming. It's amazing that smoke from a fire in a neighboring state miles away can affect us.

What a way to spend the 4th of July—in a haze with no fireworks.
