More Maine vacation posts to come but in the meanwhile ... ... we are back in Kodiak and it is at the 'peak green' point of summer. Peak green on Kodiak only lasts about a month or so. In June the hills are still somewhat brown and the everything is not quite emerald green yet. Then by early August the pushki plants finish flowering and go to seed and turn yellow, and the mountains take on darker green and yellow color. And of course the fireweed starts to bloom. But in July everything is super green!
The kids and I have been going on afternoon hikes with the dogs. Saturday we climbed up the backside of Pyramid, Sunday we went up Old Womens and yesterday we explored the Boyscout Lake area and checked out an old WWII bunker. Cousin Leo has also been joining us on the hikes. It the time of the year to be on the mountain top soaking in all the Green!
