Fall Colors Despite the Lack of Trees

You might think that since we lack trees here at latitude 65 that we also loose out on all the amazing colors of fall time. The tundra, however, is alive with color this time of year and I adore it! True, there isn't a towering maple waving it's autumn foliage over my head but the mini forest with it's explosion of color is equally inspiring.

It's hard to believe that less than four weeks ago I took the tundra flower photos, complete with irises. Time apparently moves along at warp speed in the far north.

















And last but not least, a stunning fall morning sunrise.

Good-Bye Autumn

When our friend Mollie was visiting, she took some amazing(!) photos of Brevig and the surrounding areas. I didn't get much of a chance to highlight her pictures during her visit but they're too good not to share. So, as winter is slowly taking it's grip on us with it's snow and wind and darkness, I'll take this time to say good-bye to fall. It was a good one. Beautiful weather, many visitors and memories to cherish.

good-bye to berry picking and jelly making . . .

to fall colors

and bonfires on the beach

good-bye to migrating cranes and spawning salmon
that will feed us through the up coming months



We'll see you again next year. Until then we will endure our winter white landscape, fierce blowing winds and subzero temps with comfort knowing you'll be back.

Fall Boating

Fall

It's that time of year,

Time to go out and retrieve your snowmobile from wherever you left it when the ice melted in the spring.

Fall

Our friend Mollie from Tuscon has been staying with us for a while. This weekend we had a beautiful fall day so Mollie and I went out on the mountain to look for musk ox. It wasn't as warm as Arizona, but we did enjoy the sunshine.
