Another Only in Alaska Note, from the church newsletter, section "Upcoming activities":
"1PM Harvest Dinner, bring a dish to share, something you caught, shot, picked, ran over, etc."
Aaaaanyway, without further ado, here are our Fall colors springing to life.
This is my morning commute:

I don't think I will ever see a more beautiful sight than our trees in the Fall, shrouded with discrete patches of fog.
This is the main trail off the top of Murphy Dome:

This is Murphy Dome exploding with color:

Linden hanging out while I pick cranberries:

And Autumn looking regal in her namesake surroundings:

The crowberries were ripe, too, so I picked half a quart:

I'm not that crazy about them, but there are so many that it seems a shame not to pick any.
The tundra in glorious fall:

It was so clear we could see Denali:

And the familiar shape of the Eastern Alaska Range:

Almost time for the reflective tape.
Yup, and as soon as it stops raining, I shall get it done! (Humidity is bad for adhesives.)
