The Last Day of June
Augustine volcano has been steaming lately, particularly noticable when there are few other clouds in the sky. I stopped at the scenic pull-out at the top of the hill on my way to work this afternoon and snapped this photos of the cinder cone across sixty-five miles of cold Pacific water.
It was still steaming this evening when Denny and I went for a walk out along Thomas road to one of the lots we bought last summer. It was pleasant and as long as we kept walking the insects didn't home in on us. We cut our explorations short when we stumbled across a cow moose who was bedded down in a quiet corner of the lot. We didn't stop looking over our shoulders until we were almost back to Tomas Road.
The oblique sun-angle turned the stratus lavender and the distant sea white, so that the volcano looks like it is floating on clouds. This was about about ten-forty-five.

I actually got a day off from work in January 2006.
Actually, there are five volcanos along our western horizon with histories of recent activity, so the prospect of our daily lives being impacted is fairly high.
