Musky Bay #IMG_0997.

California fires are affecting our weather.  How?  Skies are not blue.  Lakes are calm and gray looking.  A silence exists in the forest.  Some people can actually smell the smoke in the air.  Here is a photograph of Musky Bay on Lac Court Oreilles, Stone Lake, Wisconsin.

"Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly."
