Lots of travel this June/July - mostly outside (Alaska). Wracking up the frequent flier miles...
July -
Got down to Culross Passage (boat taxi from Whittier) with some friends for a week of sea kayaking. Grounded for a day and a half in stormy weather. I did a happy dance when we finally got out on the water and to celebrate my new bright orange rain bibs (and to stay warm!).
The sun came out - and Tom caught some dinner...
And the sun stayed out! Amazing view of Nellie Juan glacier!
Salmon were spawning and the eagles were feasting...
Stopped to visit Matt, Nina and Keith Corbett on the way home - A hike up Hatcher Pass...
Late August -
Sure sign of fall - the Sand Hill Cranes and geese are v-ing up and heading south...
Aside from the cranes, amazing flower beds are one of the highlights of August in Fairbanks. The flowers at the university are especially vibrant...
A sign in the Fred Meyer produce section - the shelves were totally empty. Talk about food insecurity! Good thing we had a farm share this summer (which is totally awesome! Three cheers for Maggie Hallam and Cripple Creek Organics!)
Stay tuned for an update on autumn....
Be well...
