Lonely Wildflower - Alaska - a photo on Flickriver

Lonely Wildflower - Alaska

            With our daytime temperatures reaching a high of 70 degrees, and with our lows dropping into the upper 40's at night - the wildflowers are quickly dying. 

Small sparrow type birds are flocking up - gorging on birdseed - and spending the nights beneath our cabin - only to awake the next morning and repeat the whole process until Mother Nature calls them to fly south. 

Rains have begun and have swept most of the forest fire smoke away from our acreage here in Alaska's boreal forest. For that we are most grateful. 

In this photo - (if you have great eyesight and look very close) - you will notice a hoverfly trying to extract the last of the nectar from a tiny blossom on the backside of the stalk. I didn't notice it until I brought it up on my monitor.  

As a long time, Alaskan - these are all subtle signs that autumn is on the horizon. I just hope that we get a long stretch of fall type weather, with the inevitable snow not arriving until at least October.
