...termination dust

Termination dust on the mountain above Tern Lake.
Tern Lake again.

The view from a pull-out near Seward, Alaska. Looks like someone sprinkled powdered sugar on the top of this mountain.
Here are a few pictures I took on our way home from the soccer game in Seward yesterday. As you can see there is termination dust on top of the mountains. It has been there for the past 7-10 days. It means summer has ended. No more warm temperatures, no more extra long day light, no more lots of stuff. Winter isn't far off. It will be here before we know it. But, in the mean time we can watch the Colorado Rockies and the Denver Broncos on TV and prep the house and yard for snow. Because we know it is over and we've seen the...termination dust.

Greetings Mon Ami,
Long time.
Beautiful shots as always. The Rocky Mountains west of Denver also have termination dust. But summer's end here isn't same as yours. We do however share your plans to watch the Broncos and the season that wasn't supposed to be. And the Rockies who were 10 games out of 500 ball come back to make the playoffs and dare I say it,
"take the NL West Division"?
here's to the scariest unknowns in the post season.
