This is what the Nicola valley looked like at 8:30 in the morning on Tuesday when I was driving to Penticton. Our province has 400 wildfires burning this year and the smoke from the largest fires is filling up the valleys even a long distance away.
Pelicans come to fish on Stump lake in the summer but they don't breed here. There is only one lake in the province where they breed and it is currently surrounded by a forest fire.
We are also covered in smoke haze - a little better yesterday, but back again today from Washington state this time. It is amazing how far it moves along the valleys. Hard on the breathing and eyes.
