First Run of the Season

The weather is finally cool and wet enough to run the dogs.

I went in search of downed trees from recent storms. The dogs went in search of everything.

Even after a mile and a half of up and over the ridge, the dogs were still flying.

Koyuk seemed to share my happiness at seeing the land soaked with much needed water.

Unlike the sunny south side of the ridge, the north is cloaked in darkness.

Heading up to the top of the ridge on the north side.

Two weeks ago this area was brown and barren...

the rains have brought new life to the woods and wonders to explore.
