One of the joys of many a dog's life is to fetch a stick in the water. These people took the opportunity to send one of their dogs out to bring back the stick on a day when smoke from Canadian fires gave the sun an orange tint.
The sun was out but hazy Sunday August 1, and it gave the normally yellow orb a distinctive orange tinge. The cause? Smoke from wildfires burning in inland British Columbia. Winds aloft pushed the smoke over Washington State and gave everything a particularly colorful look.
These people took the opportunity of a warm day and some happy dogs to throw some sticks for them to retrieve down at the beach at Lincoln Park. Yes, dogs should always be on a leash at Lincoln Park. But we're not in the business of interrupting happy dogs and their owners.
