What!? No snow?!

Beautiful! Do you know what flower that is?
How lovely…I hope this scene wasn’t brought to us by climate change.
I think those beautiful pink flowers are a type of fireweed.
That looks a lot like Joe Pye Weed to me. Thanks for the Alaska pix, Linda. Some of my dearest friends and former neighbors have headed there to have jobs. I miss them madly, and enjoy seeing what they’re seeing, even if it’s second-hand.
We were just there a couple weeks ago – taking the White Pass & Yukon RR up the pass. Totally worth doing – at least once if you’re in Skagway.
Sue – That photo was taken from the White Pass Railway, on a cruise ship shore excursion in August. I’ll bet the mountains had more snow when you saw them in May!
