While many people around the world are now watching their gardens grow and looking ahead to harvest time - we in remote Alaska are watching the grasses on the forest floor change from summer greens, to browns, as they wither away and die. A sure sign that we are in the early stages of autumn. (Best viewed large)

I like the following descriptive quote regarding fall . . .

“It looked like the world was covered in a cobbler crust of brown sugar and cinnamon.”

― Sarah Addison Allen

By the end of May, most of the ice covered lakes in the far north begin to emerge after their long winter's nap. It is a beautiful sight after 7 long months of bitter cold temperatures. HSS!

Do not go gentle into that good night,

Old age should burn and rave at close of day;

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

From Do go gentle into that good night by Dylan Thomas, 1914 - 1953

A black-crowned juvenile night heron... the sum of two images

A flower does not think of competing with the flower next to it. It just blooms.

- Zen Shin

( I am so starved for color at this time of year, and I can't wait to see the first wildflower poke it's little head up in the forest, and greet me with a color other than winter white. I will tread lightly so as not to destroy any potential blooms in my path. I have a tremendous reverence for the flora and fauna in my boreal forest. It is the beauty of nature that feeds my soul. )

This old barn is up to its neck in snow, and waits patiently for spring to arrive.

I photographed the barn early this morning, after another night of snowfall.
