The smoke from the California wildfires have been covering Reno, and Nevada for about 6 straight weeks now. I've had about enough. These are shot near Pyramid Lake.
Actually, that was just a small whine from me. We always get California wildfire smoke around this time of year. It could be worse though, I could be where the fire actually is.
I've travelled most of the world and have lived in a few different countries over the years, and in the end, this is my favorite place to live. Well... maybe Alaska, but I can't say they have endless summers, lol, but what a fantastic place that is. Yeah, I'm pretty happy here.
Home is where you make it. I'm quite content up here in Michigan as well. I enjoy the seasons, especially winter when I'm 'toasting' my feet in front of the woodstove and not having to venture outside. Nice to be semi-retired. I just farm now.
