      RETURN (Feature Photos 2007-08) 

When it’s June in the Yukon
It has been a while since my last post and I know I promised a warmer weather theme for the next feature photo. Well, ... maybe next time. In all my years here, I have never before seen a snowfall like this in June. It caps off a late and generally miserable spring but, to be fair, it hasn’t all been bad and we even had a week of summery heat in the mid-20’s C, as evidenced by the fact that the lupines are blooming. My garden is prepared and seeded, though fortunately I had not begun transplanting the starter plants that are crowding their containers in my sunroom. Now the spring rush of urgent outdoor work is slackening and I hope to resume more photography with a bit less time between posts again, although I’m also somewhat preoccupied with setting up a new notebook computer (Dell XPS M1330).
