Regretting not stopping and taking photos of a bunch of Malibu landmarks, which I just realized were destroyed in January. (every time I'd drive by, I'd say: "I should really stop and take a photo of that feed store... old motel... fishing store..." etc. then "but I have to get to that meeting, I don't have time...") #wildfires #photography

From scattered sunlight to dozy bees, smoky days from #wildfires are challenging #Canada's food growers

“The haze can reflect and interfere with sunlight, which could disrupt photosynthesis.
