Summer Days, Drifting Away

Loving the colors running rampant across the Kenai! 
 Those fields of fireweed are glowing everywhere! Spires of purply pink reach for the sky on stalks as tall or taller than I am.
 Berries are bursting into existence and the birds are harvesting them like crazy.
 Still life shots are seen out of the corner of your eye, just waiting to be frozen in a time before winter.
 LOVE finding an unexpected find. A quirky heart rock for my friend, Linda. I'll get it to her soon~
 Even the non organic things shimmer in the July sunshine.
 Miss Bee has her pollen packs loaded and is working hard to share the wealth with the flowers she visits. She was so busy, she made quick repeat visits on different daisies before finding on to finally settle on.
 These little guys were blowing in the breeze. They are watermelon berries in various stages of maturity. The red ones are 'done' and able to be picked and eaten! We did this all the time as kids.
But, those days are drifting away..many of the fireweed flowers are on the last flowers on their stalk. The long thin parts are seed heads. Am glad this is only on the smaller flowers. The larger ones are about three quarters into their bloom time.
