Tutka Bay

We went out to pull up our crab pots this afternoon. I snapped this picture as we left Tutka Bay for home.

Smoky Skies

The smoke from the massive fires in the interior has drifted down to our neighborhood. On our road trip to Kenai and back today, most of the scenery was veiled in smoke and low clouds. I took this from a high point south of Ninilchik heading toward Homer.

The Side Yard

Compare with the same view a few weeks ago.

Full Moon

Fireweed

Bog Flower

I love these little flowers and have encouraged them to grow in our yard. Despite their rather inelegant name, their bright white star-shaped blossoms enliven the undergrowth with a touch of delicate beauty.

Naked Mountains

The fine weather combined with the dusting of volcanic ash we got this spring has denuded the peaks of their snow pack.
