hallelujah! the sun rises again...

it's been awhile i know and i'm sure most of you have lost interest, but things have been pretty much business as usual in petaluma/sonoma county with nothing very exciting to report let alone take photos of.

there has been one thing of note that has been going on in northern california...wildfires. i didn't get any photos of how hazy it was and there's no way to instill the smell of bbq that permeated the sonoma county air for a week, but it has been wicked hazy/smokey out here since last weekend. the sunrises and sunsets have been weirdly amazing and it's been ridiculously cooler than usual because the sun couldn't infiltrate all that smoke. from my office window, you can usually see the napa mountains and mt. st. helena, but you couldn't even see 100 yards away into the next vineyard. petaluma has been far from danger, though, so i'm quite lucky.

and happily, today, i looked outside and i could see the sky...
