California, Washington, and Oregon are currently fighting wildfires peppering the Cascades and coastal ranges. Twitter was afire with photos of an eerie orange sky from the smoke blowing across the peninsula toward the Pacific.
Here are some highlights I flagged from around the Twitterverse:

Embarcadero:
