Unbelievably, it's the first of July already, and my last entry reads to me like the taper before the big event. Here are a few photos of the race that is my Alaska Summer 2012.

| We attended the Alaska Botanical Gardens' Gala event. Paul submitted a cedar Japanese Snow Lantern this year. About two dozen artists included works of many media. I liked this metal spiral that had been carefully centered over a young plant. |

| We took Blossom to Whittier mid-month. The weather was unmatched on Solstice Weekend. Endless sun and wind for sailing. |
 |
| I visited Cordova for the first time this past weekend with two former co-workers. We had sunny weather the first two days and more typical Prince William Sound weather the last two. South-central Alaska seems blanketed with lupine this year. Here is a roadside bouquet down the beach from the lodge where we stayed. |
