It's June In Anchorage!

 I know you hear enough about algae in the reflecting pool, cage fights, ai, Iran, (and not enough about) Epstein files.

So let's just enjoy some summer pictures.  While we aren't cloudless, we've had a lot of sun and the green covers most of Anchorage and the flowers are making their appearances i their proper order.  

The kind of traffic hold up I love.  This one or two week old calf was sticking close to mom on the bike trail between UAA and Goose Lake.

And soon enough they were off the trail and I could continue my ride.

This was close to 10pm Monday night.  My book club met downtown, so I came home via Westchester Lagoon on the Chester Creek path.  This is at Valley of the Moon.

Just past Seward Highway, there were rugby players enjoying the late sun.  

And the small lake as the bike trail approaches Lake Otis.  

The symbiosis of nature - bees were swarming around the first peonies at the Alaska Botanical Garden.

The crowd of asters demanded I take a picture.  

And the lilacs have just burst open in our front yard.  

Some of the tools at the botanical garden.  

Enjoy the summer.  Let the trees and flowers and large and small creatures bring you calm in the days of high anxiety.
