This page begins with June 30th and a trip to Sunrise Farm - the place where Kazuya and I pick rhubarb for using in Kazuya's Baked Delights which contain rhubarb. It is also a peony farm, so we took photos of only the peonies.  The next date on this page is July 7th, when we had a number of forest fires going, the air was filled with the smoke from those fires, and we took a walk up the road to Gettinger's Field in the smoke.  Click on any thumbnail to begin.

Begin June 30th |
  On June 30th we went to Sunrise Farm to harvest some of their "you pick" rhubarb, which Kazuya uses in his baking of such things as strawberry-rhubarb scones and so on. Rhubarb is not very exciting to take photos of though, so he took several photos of their peonies. |

  At the end of June and for most of July we had bad smoke from forest fires in the Fairbanks area. On July 7th we walked up the road to Gettinger's Field to take some photos. Here are the first three. |

  These two photos show Gettinger's Field - the smoke is very evident. |

  The first two photos in this row are increasingly zoomed from the same position as the two photos in the previous row. I was more or less centering on the patch of Fireweed which is very evident in the center photo. The third shot was taken while kneeling down and attempting to get some close items in the photo. |

  Now looking through the seedheads of the grasses and playing with the zoom. The third shot in this row is a combination of the second photo in this row and the first photo in the following row. |
