The smoke from the Maple Fire created this surreal sky at sunrise along the Madison River near the Three Brothers Mountains.

An Eastern Screech Owl -- appears to be a red morph.
From Cornell -
Eastern Screech-Owls can be either mostly gray or mostly reddish-brown (rufous). Whatever the overall color, they are patterned with complex bands and spots that give the bird excellent camouflage against tree bark. Eyes are yellow.
This was the only shot of so many shots where the lightning showed itself outside of all the clouds. A new favorite of mine. Hope yall enjoy and mayGod Bless you!!!
Sadly the Fall season in Woodinville, WA, and many other parts of the country, is starting out with smoke from wild fires near and far. This photo has fog in the lower atmosphere and smoke in the upper turning the sun orange.
5 years ago I failed to get a full sun shot at a spot I wanted badly, and when the weather cooperated when I returned this year, other factors arose. With big fires near Edson to the east, smoke took place of the clouds and created their own unique mood, but just not quite the mood I was hoping for. With the sun falling fast and the shadows growing fast, Q117 drifts over the causeway with a long train of containers.
Sunset at the canal has a backdrop of smoke as the distant longboat fires up its stove as a frosty evening approaches.

I feel a little guilty going out to photograph the unusual sunsets (and sunrises) since those folks in the western US are facing such hardships from the wildfires, but I did last evening. Just before packing up and heading home I made a few more quick shots including this one. I didn't even realize the deer was in the frame until looking them over on the computer screen later. Perhaps a fitting title for this would be "Dumb Luck."

Very small village nestled in shades of green in the valley of these majestic mountains. Please zoom in..
Sunset over the Teton range, Wyoming, USA, taken from the cheapest of very VERY expensive accommodation options close to the national park. The smoke in the air was from local fires, not blown in from California,
