A couple of days ago the sunsets across the lake became a gorgeous blending of reds and golds… and my head started pounding and I got a bad case of sniffles. Coincidence? Maybe not!! Saharan dust has been creeping from Africa across the Atlantic, and found it’s way to Florida where, when the sun is low in the sky it reflects off the dust and brings photo worthy sunrises and sunsets!! This dry, dusty air can also cause coughing, sniffles, headache… you know, allergy and flu (and Covid) symptoms. I am enjoying the beautiful skies and willing to medicate the associated pain. This Saharan Plume is just passing through and will be gone in a few days. I hear there is another one coming with Florida in its sights so I’ll make sure the allergy kit is stocked and set up the camera. Happy Summer Solstice!
