"He" passed to our east after leaving very heavy rains. About 6". Our fall foliage is almost at its peak and we didn't want to loose the leaves this soon. Glad we didn't. The red maples are particularily brilliant this year. My husband and I like to drive through the western Maine mountains and up toward Rangley and Jackman on the Canadian border to see the fall colors. It's about a 100 mile circuit and it's also moose hunting season here so we keep busy watching hoping to see one. (We don't hunt but enjoy looking) Do you have Bluebirds in Alaska during the summer? We have them in Maine but a friend has better luck enticing them over to his house to nest. I'm lucky if I see them once a year but 2 days ago, during their migration south, I got to see several. It was a real treat. The Monarch Butterflies hatched early this year and not as many as usual. Wonder if that is a sign of the type of winter to come. I enjoy your writing and photos so much, thanks for the website. Gail Hello Susan,

I remember my first year in Alaska. It snowed on Sept. 27 for the first time. I called my mother almost everyday after that saying it's snowing. We got I think 80 inches that year. It was crazy for me but I really enjoyed it. Great pictures. The artic cam shows some snow on the ground. I remember my first year in Alaska. It snowed on Sept. 27 for the first time.

LOL! Sounds like a great time on your 'girls day out'! Fun! That butterfly is so pretty, you can just see the softness to it. Its truly fall here now as I can smell it when I walk outside. I love that smell! The damp foliage smell, the brisk air, the beautiful colors, oh I love it! We had a goreous Saturday, the temps were perfect with beautiful sunshine and no wind or breeze! Just wonderful! Of course today is grey and gloomy! I can't believe in a matter of 3 days it will be October 1st!!! Wow, time is really flying by! This year has just disappeared! Have a wonderful week! HI Susan,
