Arctic Forget-Me-Not, known as Eritrichium aretioides or Eritrichium nanum, grows in small clumps in the sandy tundra soil of Alaska’s North Slope. It can also be found in the gravelly soil of the High Arctic and mountains in Alaska, the Yukon, and Siberia. Usually grows to four inches or less. Brightly colored blossoms are punctuated by a fragrant yellow center. This photo was taken on the tundra outside the Native village of Atqasuk.
That is crazy!!!! However, in my walk in the woods this evening, I noticed the Sumac is turning red already!!! I start school on Monday – - – always a sign that summer is near its end!! Have a great weekend!! Lori

I agree with you, so much so we are going to go back to certain places, because we took is so much in a month, we want to repeat some of them.
Beautiful!!!!
Thank you, Lori! Great to hear from you! It’s actually beginning to feel like fall around here (been in the thirties all week). Isn’t that crazy?
