This page continues June 16th, but the previous page ended as we were leaving our driveway, and this page picks up with a drive up the Elliott Highway on a fall color adventure. Next after that are two rows (7 and 8) which were taken at and near home, but then in Row 9, we're off to the mountains again - the same place where we went on Page 1, but two weeks later for comparison. In the final row are two more shots taken at home. Click on any thumbnail to begin.

Well, on the previous page we were getting ready to leave for this trip, and now we are on the drive up the Elliott Highway - would you look at the amazing autumn colors. In the third shot you can see smoke over the nearest hill, we assumed that there is a cabin there and that they were warming the place up with a fire in their woodstove.

The first two shots in this row were taken at the same location as those in the previous row, but the third shot was taken quite a distance farther up the highway. It shows the higher elevations on Wickersham Dome.

Here are three more shots of the red colors, probably a blueberry patch, on the side of Wickersham Dome.

These three shots were taken even farther up the highway. That is the TAPS (Trans-Alaska Pipeline System) in all three of these photos.

The first shot here was taken down in the lowest part of this valley. The hillside there is the same hill as seen in Row 4, but from a different side of it. The second shot shows the area of Lower Grapefruit Rocks - the rocks you can see jutting up out of the mountain on the left side of the photo.

Harwood trees on the higher ground and black spruce in the lower areas, that's what you're seeing in the first photo. The second photo is a nice red blueberry bush.

Now we are taking a walk from home and these two photos were both shot from the Gettinger's Field area.

These three shots show Romanesco Broccoli which we bought at Farmer's Market from Dragonfly Farm. We bought 10 pounds (4.5 kg) to blanch and freeze for the winter. If you've never eaten this, it's sooooooooo delicious!

Now we are going back to the area shown on Page 1 in Rows 8 - 11. The first two shots were taken from Cleary Summit, while the third shot was taken as we were driving up the US Creek Road.

Here are three more shots that were taken along US Creek Road. Everything looks very much different than it did on Page 1 (September 13).

Not only are all of the beautiful autumn colors gone, but also you have surely noticed that there is snow at the higher elevations. The center photo is very similar to the first shot on Page 1, Row 10, and therefore I created an image to show you so that you don't need to go back to Page 1, just click the center image to see.

The first shot here shows Kazuya taking close-up snow photos, while the second and third shots just show more snowy scenery.

Now we are back home. The first shot was taken merely to show that on September 28th the leaves were mostly gone. The second shot was taken while I was raking our west yard on September 29.
