Sunday afternoon Nora convinced me to hike up to the saddle behind the North Sister. It seems like just yesterday that Nora and I did the same hike at the end of July just before we started on the 'Adjust your Altitude' Challenge (click here for post). Looking back at the pictures from that hike in July it looks so GREEN! Wow. I remember that that was at the beginning of a long and hot dry spell - we did not get any rain for almost a month.
These days Kodiak is all brown and yellow. The sun is low in the sky and the sunlight rakes at a low angle across the landscape. Pretty soon it ought to snow. Nora even got cold hands on our hike and donned gloves. My favorite time of the year!
