Brotherhood Park, Mendenhall Glacier, Juneau, Alaska – Image 2615

Brotherhood Park, Mendenhall Glacier, Juneau, Alaska #2615 I am dreaming of summer. This image of bicyclers pedalling through the fireweed on the path at Brotherhood Park with the Mendenhall Glacier in the background is an August image. But for the past couple of weeks, Juneau has been bathed in sunshine and warm spring temperatures, and my mind is wandering to the future summer. The ice went out on Twin Lakes last Friday on April 24 and the snow finally released our driveway on the same day. We were able to park next to our Starr Hill house for the first time since last November. Mendenhall Lake and Auke Lake are still frozen and Eaglecrest Ski Area (now closed) got a dusting of snow last week. But, the area’s temperatures got up into the lower sixties yesterday and I am dreaming of summer. Enjoy the photo and thanks for visiting.
