Smoke Gets in my Eyes

We had no idea when we came to Seward that the winds would shift and smoke would infiltrate the entire valley.  By Saturday night, we could not see any part of the mountains to the east.

When we awakened on Sunday and after we watched the baptism of our little Tessa Marie online, we decided to walk two miles to the Starbucks in the Safeway store.  When we went outside, we saw this:

I thought maybe the sun was up and the smoke was so thick, we just couldn't see it.

Suddenly, it began to peak over the mountain, bright orange!

More and more it rose,
Until it was finally up . . . the smoke made for a beautiful sunrise
And a beautiful harbor picture!
The wind has changed, and we are hoping this smoke gets blown away.  CJ and Kara are on a sightseeing cruise - we hope they can see something through the smoke.
