Heavy smoke in Prescott Az this morning. I am having some respiratory issues, I should not have walked the dogs. I’m OK, I will be using a lot of allergy and asthma meds and staying indoors the rest of the day.

The smoke is coming from the Brooklyn fire, near Sunset point.

Wildfire Moon

Last night was a full moon. From Prescott it looked orange due to the smoke from wildfires. The fires are not nearby, the Yarnell fire is pretty much out.

Evening smoke on the horizon

And the full moon appeared to be orange

This morning we have a lot of smoke at ground level, it was bothering my eyes and my asthma when I walked the dog pack at 7 am. It’s 85 degrees at 9:10 am headed to 104, very hot for us at 5500 ft elevation. I think I’ll be indoors much of the day 🙂
