Moonset over the Pacific Ocean…and a look at the smoke from the wildfire in Butte County.

Ken Hofer photographed the moon painting a path across the ocean.

And Jon Loveless photographed this beautiful sight from his home on The Sea Ranch.

Thanks to Ken and Jon for allowing me to share their photos with you here.

Our beautiful coast has been shrouded in heavy smoke from the terrible fires in Butte County. Today has been very tough, especially those with respiratory issues. Here's a photo I took yesterday late afternoon at the Point Arena Lighthouse of the smoke pouring westward.

We have hopes that an onshore breeze will appear later today. Pray for rain for all who are impacted by wildfires.
