One last shot at summer

It’s been a cool, wet, cloudy summer, and the National Weather Service is threatening us with 10 years or more of the same. So when the temperatures tick over 60 and it’s not raining — get out there and enjoy what you can!

We stopped today, in the midst of a busy week with RUNNING and the Alaska Primary slated for next week, to smell the flowers. Or at least snap a few photos.

Have you taken time to smell some late summer blooms?

Click on over to Flickr for a view of the flowers around our facility in Anchorage. And if you’ve got a moment, post a comment below with a link to your own photos — we’d like to see if everyone else’s flowers are blooming this late in the summer, too.
