This page begins with photos which were taken too late in May for me to be able to process and include on the June web pages. The first row was taken on May 26th at home and the remainder of the page shows photos which were taken on May 27th at Twelvemile Summit - our first trip up there this season. Click on any thumbnail to begin.

The Highbush Cranberry (Viburnum trilobum) was in full bloom on this date, about 10 days to 2 weeks earlier than usual.

On May 27th we headed for Twelvemile and Eagle Summits - earliest spring trip that we've taken to this area. The first two shots here were taken from the Davidson Ditch Rest Area at Mile 57.2 on the Steese Highway. These two shots are looking more or less to the south. The third shot shows a Snow Buttercup (Ranunculus nivalis).

The first and third shots here are scenic shots taken from Twelvemile Summit. Kazuya is in each of them. The center shot is a very beautiful Woolly Lousewort (Pedicularis lanata).

Here are three shots of Alaska Kittentails (Synthyris borealis). The center and far right shots show an albino form of it. WOW! We found albino forms of two species in one day, both of species which we have never seen an albino form before today.

Here are two additional shots of the Alaska Blue Anemone (Anemone drummondii aka A. multiceps) - the specific plant which we came to try and find today. It is past its prime, but at least it's still in bloom. We are happy.
