After Work

Just after I leave work, the road dips down to near sea-level and offers this view across the shallows of Mud Bay (low tide) toward the Homer Spit. If you click on the photo to enlarge, the low, green line of the Spit shows more clearly. On the far side of that green line is the wide expanse of Kachemak Bay. The mountains mark the south-east shoreline.



Just across the road from where I stopped to take the photo of the bay, this hill of lupine climbs up toward the level of the runway.

I can't decide if I love the lupine or the fireweed more. Lupine recalls the height of summer, while the fireweed always has the subtext that the summer is ending.

In a month, you can judge for yourself.
