One of the best things about living in Kodiak is that we got such good seasons. Each is quite distinct with its own charms and activities. In winter we do a lot of skiing - both cross country skiing and downhill. In spring the skiing shifts to the mountain tops and alpine gear as the snow leaves the low country. Kodiak springs are long and brown but with white mountains all around. Summer in Kodiak is Green - it's not called the 'Emerald Isle' for nothing - and activities on the water dominate. Fishing. It's also when I do most of my archaeological fieldwork. Then there is Fall. Kodiak fall is long and lingering as the ocean around the island retains the summer heat. Fall is hunting season. Deer, elk, mountain goats and reindeer.

Alisa - go to the video and photo of the 'Mill Bay Rescue' post below. That day it was blowing 40 MPH and gusting to 55MPH. and we got 8 inches of snow. Spruce Cape was a maelstrom.
You have challenged me to find a beautiful 'Nasty weather' picture.
We miss you guys too, and enjoy the pictures and stories from warmer places. Patrick
