More fall photos

The peak of fall's beauty is very fast, and it hits different areas at different times. Here is a ridge alongside the Granite Tors Trail. Still green on Aug 31! There was a fire there maybe 6 or so years ago? And you can see the line where it stopped.

But it is definitely fall in the woods behind our house. Look at how brilliant these late-lingering blueberries look in their brilliant red plants! These late blueberries, by the way, are a rare treat and syrupy-sweet.

Our CSA from Calypso Farm continues to be prolific.

This broccoli is astonishing! However, we love broccoli, so this is no problem!

And look at this lettuce!

The trail along the powerline easement through our neighborhood. Not quite fall here, as of Sept 4.

I believe with climate change, it is no longer the rule of thumb to wait until the first frost to pick cranberries. We have not had a frost yet, but these are ripe.

They were low-growing and dusty, so I washed them. Highbush and blueberries seldom require washing.

Our morning runs have been beautiful! I love the quality of light in the falltime. This is the road right in front of our cabin.

Sweet Thistle, Fuzzy Thistle, cute little pawpaws. She actually prefers this dog bed to the couch!

This is Cricket sulking for a hug.

After DL or I hug her, she inverts herself for a bellyrub.

A pretty slough in Chena Lakes Recreational Area.

Chena Lakes is part of a flood control project. In times of excessive rain or water flow, water is diverted from the Chena to prevent flooding. This was in response to catastrophic flooding in 1967, when the Chena was six feet above flood stage and caused catastrohic damage to Fairbanks. On the drive out, we noticed them doing some dam work, so I scoped out a pullout, and on the way home I took a dam photo. I think it turned out dam nice.

Ahhh, now it is officially fall in the 'hood. (taken Sept 11)

But look at these pretty flowers still lingering on campus! It comes from a seed mix you can buy locally. It has many colors of poppies, cosmos, daisies, etc. I'm going to buy some next year for easy beauty!

And I took these photos just two days ago!
