We have had an extremely dry, sunny and hot summer. The fireweed which isusually peeking this week has already gone to seed two weeks ago.

This photo illustrates themonth of August in my Juneau 2005 Calendar. Camera: Nikon F5, Lens: 20-35mmf/2.8 Nikkor, polarized, Film: 35mm Fuji Velvia (35mm color slide film).-Mark Kelley
