Narrative:

For my flight to crq I received a weather briefing; on my ipad; through the foreflight app. I normally use duats golden eagle; on my computer; which graphically shows tfr's on the flight plan map. I didn't realize that the foreflight app doesn't display tfr's on the moving map. While I was descending from 10;500 msl I saw the smoke from a fire; on the ground; and realized there probably was a tfr in the area. I think I was down to 9000-9500 feet and I pulled up immediately to 11 or 12000. When I got home I checked on duats and saw there was a tfr on my flight path with a top of 10000. From now on I'll take my computer with me and also read the tfr notam's or call FSS.
