I am having fun watching my little hydroponic gardens produce. One is strictly for heritage cherry tomatoes, and in this image you see the formation of the first tomato.

If only these old cabins could talk - I'll bet, they could tell some mighty tall tales. They were built back in the forties and fifties and were temporary homes to a lot of moose hunters. At that time it sure beat camping in a tent in bear country.

Another scorcher by Alaskan standards, as we are still reaching into the high seventies during the day. With that in mind - I'd like to take off my shoes and wade in the nice cool waters of our lakes and streams. However; with all of the fishing that takes place up here - I'm sure my tootsies would be imbedded with all kinds of assorted fish hooks and lures.

(I shot this photo where the Chilkoot River and Chilkoot Lake meet, down in Haines Alaska.)

The water and weather are fun enough to watch from behind warm dry windows but sometimes it's better to go out and get bathed by it! :D

This started out as a photo of the convention center's glass atrium canopy and then I blended in some water, ripple, and spiral filter effects just because I love a good vortex! :D

This image was previously posted then deleted... now fixed, retouched and re-issued. The same bird is in all three takes.

Happy Sunday Sliders!!!

“Come, little leaves,” said the wind one day,

“Come o'er the meadows with me and play;

Put on your dresses of red and gold,

For summer is gone and the days grow cold.”

Soon as the leaves heard the wind’s loud call,

Down they came fluttering, one and all;

Over the brown fields they danced and flew,

singing the glad little songs they knew.

“Cricket, goodbye, we’ve been friends so long;

Little brook, sing us your farewell song;

Say you are sorry to see us go;

Ah, you will miss us, right well we know.

"Dear little lambs in your fleecy fold,

Mother will keep you from harm and cold;

fondly we watched you in vale and glade;

Say, will you dream of our loving shade?”

Dancing and whirling, the little leaves went;

Winter had called them, and they were content;

soon, fast asleep in their earthy beds,

The snow laid a coverlid over their heads.

(Poet: George Cooper.)

** (The thermometer beside our cabin door, read 24 F. degrees this morning. Autumn winds have been blowing leaves from the trees, leaving a blanket of gold on the forest floor. Snow is making its way down our tallest mountain peaks, and road construction is winding down.

Warmer jackets now hang beside our cabin door, and winter boots have been placed beneath them.

Doc has removed our truck camper and winterized it - (one of the last big chores of the season). All of our winter provisions have been stored, and now we await our first snowfall. )

. . . for the last picnic of the season.

Most campgrounds in the far north are only open from May 15th to September 15th, so this beautiful spot is not accessible for 8 months of the year. But the wildlife will sure enjoy it while we're gone.

Happy Labor Day weekend to all.

This morning our weather station displayed 38F. degrees as our overnight low temperature. In Alaska - August is traditionally the month that you grab a jacket before going outside.

The insects have dwindled in numbers - the small songbirds are fattening up at our feeders in preparation for their migration south - and the moose are filling up on willow leaves before they flutter to the ground. In three short weeks it will be the fall equinox, and we will settle in for another long Alaskan winter.

With record high temperatures in the +40 range (with humid-ex) working on this image taken back in February was a refreshing cooling change.

A swirly shattered bubble here to help ease my guilt for not having uploaded for so long. I hope you're all having a great weekend with plenty of good photo opportunities!
