No real point to this post - just eye candy from the archives. Top two are sunrise views from our house out over Mill Bay while the bottom one is a sunset at Afognak River. The ski season is beginning to wind down and hunting season does not begin until August. Not many good outdoor activities to photograph. I'll have to get in some gardenning and more rafting photos. Not that ski season is over yet either - last weekend we even had new snow in the backcountry. But I must admit July is my least favorite month in Kodiak. Skiing is winding down, there is no hunting, fishing is caught between the early red and king runs (May and June) and the later pinks and silvers (August and September), and the hiking is rough because of all the tall grass, brush and bugs. Worst of all - you have to mow the lawn weekly just to keep the jungle at bay. July is down time, just barbecues and gardenning to keep me occupied. Wait a minute - there's Nora! She's a serious handfull! So this year the doldrums of summer ought to be a little livelier anyway. Good thing it is still June! Patrick
