We have been very busy this month and though it seemed like there would not be time to post anything at all for the month, I am sneaking in a minimal sample of photos which we shot during the month of June. This page begins with June 2 and a trip up into the mountains - specifically Twelvemile and Eagle Summits. After that we visited "The Peat Ponds" here in Fairbanks for an orchid search. Then on June 18 we took another jaunt to the mountains, with a visit to Upper Grapefruit Rocks. The final two rows were shot close to home. Click on any thumbnail to begin.

In this row is a collage, created by Kazuya, of some of the various colors that the Alaska Blue Anemone (Anemone multiceps) exhibits and also a shot of Woolly Lousewort (Pedicularis lanata).

In this row you see an amazingly blue Arctic Lupine (Lupinus arcticus ssp. arcticus) - the final shot from the mountains. In second position is a photo of Bog Cranberry plants (Vaccinium oxycoccos) taken at "The Peat Ponds" on the west side of Fairbanks.

This shot was taken just up the road from our house, at Gettinger's Field. This huge thunderstorm passed mostly to the south of us, but we did get a few drops of rain from it.

These two bird shots were taken at home. The first one shows three immature Black-capped Chickadees (Poecile atricapillus) enjoying the "peanut butter stick" we give to the birds. The second shot shows an American Robin (Turdus migratorius) and a Hairy Woodpecker (Leuconotopicus villosus) having a staring contest to see who gets to drink the water first.
