An Orangey Moon


We've had a lot of smoke in the valley, all coming from wildfires in California, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington.  The smoke has come and gone and back again since July 10th.  One of the many joys of living in a valley.  (Being surrounded by beautiful mountains really is great, though.)

Last Sunday the setting sun was a glowing reddish color, looking all kinds of ominous.  By the time the moon rose it decided it didn't want to be outdone by the sun, and so the moon looked orangey, glowing and eerie.  

This photo doesn't capture this wondrous moon one bit, which is the case with most cell phone pics.  In person the moon really was quite the sight.  

And fun little fact, the glowing dot above the moon isn't a star, it's Jupiter. :D

(I wrote this early this week.  Thankfully the air hasn't been too bad these last couple days, so that's good.)

Have a great week,
Sarah

P.S. Still editing the Creator's Playbook Podcast episode, and it's looking like it'll go up on Friday.  I recorded with my bro. Steven, and I love what we came up with. :0)
