Grasshopper in a world of dreams

With temperatures dipping down to 57 F. degrees below zero (with wind chill) in our state today - I am dreaming of spring, and warm-sunny days. The tiny town of Tok happens to be the place recording that bitterly cold temperature this morning, and is just a three-hour drive from our cabin. It makes the 25 F. degrees below zero recorded at our place this morning - feel downright balmy.

Instead of a fly, how would you react to a butterfly landing in your blueberries and cream? ...

Due to the closeup on the berries the butterfly has been greatly reduced in size.

Autumn has arrived in Alaska. Night temperatures are dipping down into the low thirty's in much of our state, and the leaves and ground cover will reach peak colors over the next ten days. The summer insect's have disappeared, and the hunters are out in full force. Meanwhile the Lynx are chasing the army of rabbits that have been surrounding our cabin since early spring. It's a wonderful time of year in the far north - that is, if you have all of your chores done for winter.
