Snowedin Posted August 14, 2024 Share Posted August 14, 2024 It’s been so beautiful here most of the day but all of the sudden the sky is starting to dim a little and I strongly suspect we’re getting some influence from the wildfires burning in Canada. It almost reminds me of that solar eclipse we had last April but obviously nowhere near as drastic. One of my relatives actually sent me this cool shot from scituate this morning near the harbor. I’m pretty sure there’s some smoke mixed in the background with the sunrise. Either way, pretty interesting to see. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand No they are actually smaller… like house fly size. We bailed on the dog walk. They looked like flying ants, that type of body. Some were bigger than others though which was odd.
