Just a pic a day, more or less, from The Great Land, and maybe a few from Yukon and BC, too.

Alaska's fireweed (Epilobium angustifolium) is usually "fuzzed out" by mid-September, meaning that the blooms are gone and the emptying seed pods make the plant look like wild cotton candy. Every so often, though, you'll spot a late-bloomer and the fleeting days of late summer in the Great Land come to life again.
