Fall Watch

It's still summer here in Southeast Alaska - the days are long (but getting shorter), and the weather is the usual mix of misty, rainy days that are punctuated with high clouds and brief glimpses of the sun. Around the edges are early signs of fall. Squirrels and birds are stashing nuts and cones and berries. A few leaves are starting to turn red or gold and others just look spent. The lovely wild roses are producing their rose hips. The golden light of the early evening is one of my favorite indicators of fall.

I'm loving these last days of summer, but looking forward to autumnal equinox in just a few weeks.
