Smoke in the forest

The weather out here on the West Coast continues to be unseasonably hot and dry with no end in sight. Though this picture is only of campfire smoke in the forest, there have been and continue to be forest fires elsewhere in the interior of British Columbia. At one point last week 17,000 people had to be evacuated from their homes for a number of days, a small handful of those people returned only to find ashes.

Interestingly enough I haven't heard many people here in the coast complaining about the sunshine or hot dry weather, I guess the memory of our long sunless winter is still fresh enough in everyone's mind...
