VOG!

OMG! The vog was so bad lately! For those who don't know what it is, here's a definition:

"Vog, a portmanteau of volcanic and fog by analogy with smog, is volcanic smog formed when sulfur dioxide and other pollutants emitted by an erupting volcano mixes with oxygen and moisture in the presence of sunlight." It's been stuck over us after floating over from Big Island! It's really not healthy to breathe. I put in some pics for you to see above. I'm amazed that even w/all the vog, this beautiful flower bloomed!!! Check it out:
