Sunset from our Dock
I love this time of the year in Alaska. With less daylight and nighttime temperatures cool and frosty we are experiencing a lovely phenomenon called an “Indian Summer” where the days are warm, clear and sunny. Fall colors are slowly appearing, a bright yellow tree here and there randomly sprinkled among trees turning yellow green and the ground is carpeted in a maze of gold, orange and rust colored foliage. Fireweed dominates with blaze red leaves topped by fluffy white clouds of seed. The best part of the day are the spectacular, dazzling sunsets with migrating birds often silhouetted against the brilliant sky. Oh yes, how I love this time of the year in Alaska!
