This page begins with May 5th and a photo taken from our porch during an evening of weird weather and weird lighting.  Then we jump to May 6th and a trip up the Elliott Highway to and also beyond the Grapefruit Rocks Area in search of the elusive Pasque Flower (Pulsatilla patens).  The next photos after that were taken at Creamer's Field Migratory Waterfowl Refuge on May 16th and show some Snow Geese (Chen caerulescens).  Also on May 16th we went up to the UAF West Ridge in search of Calypso Orchids (Calypso bulbosa var. americana). We found buds, but it was too early for flowers - we returned there on May 23rd to find the flowers.  Click on any thumbnail to begin.
