Monte Vista Journal

I’m still waiting for our beautiful clear evening sky to happen. It should’ve started a month ago. At least on most nights, it’s clear by morning. Now we’re getting fire haze, which blocks out a lot of things. It’s a good thing Venus is so bright and hard to miss. If last weeks full moon looked more orange than it usually is when it’s full, it’s because of the fire haze in our sky. It always looks orange close to the horizon, but this time it stayed orange as it climbed higher in the sky.
