What are you doing today?

Insane levels of smoke are reaching all the way here(NJ) from Canadian Wildfires.
Here's a shot I took with my drone at 100m last year compared to today. Same location.
When I look outside, its looks like Mars.

I'm in the Poconos and it's just awful. I let my dog out and about had a coughing fit. It's much worse than yesterday. Everything is orange tinted like your photo and can't see more than 50 yards.
 
I spent the morning defending my yard under my big old elm tree from contractor trucks, after evicting the first one. The concrete guy has already been warned. I just need a friend with a tow truck to deal with enforcement. (also had to spread my mulch pile so yard looks neat - neighbor wars can get ugly)

Very nice! What causes those little micro bubble trails from the leaves?
As @Fishmanic said, its pearling, where the plant produces more oxygen than what the water can absorb. It looks really pretty.
But the reason for it isn't that good lol. The lotus accidentally ripped (thankfully the rip isn't visible), so it was pearling from that spot for a long time after filling lol.
But my Amazon swords were also pearling a little which was cool!
 
That reminds me, we need to nag our son about his motorbike which has been sitting in our garage untouched for the last 4 years. Now he's a new father he says he's not going to ride it again and needs to sell it. Eventually.
 
I was given a broken-down 1998 honda shadow. It had been sitting for at least 10 years. Ended up giving up trying to fix it and had it towed away.
