This was when Bandit and I first got there at the lake. It was so foggy I was wondering why I even took my camera, but I feel naked without it and hope to shoot something close like this Great Blue Heron. Please look at the previous pics to show how foggy it was at Peace Valley Park, New Britain Pa. yesterday. Thank you, Bandit and Bill
From my archived files and a different photo. A man burns herbs in a Celtic bowl on my visit to the Pennsylvania Renaissance Fair in 2018.
Smudging, or other rites involving the burning of sacred herbs (e.g., white sage) or resins, is a ceremony practiced by some Indigenous peoples of the Americas. While it bears some resemblance to other ceremonies and rituals involving smoke (e.g., Australian smoking ceremony, some types of saining) from other world cultures, notably those that use smoke for spiritual cleansing or blessing, the purposes and particulars of the ceremonies, and the substances used, can vary widely among tribes, bands, and nations, and even more so among different world cultures.
