Termination Dust and Pixie Dust

O.k....I don't know why I put pixie dust on here.  The termination dust has arrived.  What may you ask is termination dust?  I did not know either until a friend educated me. For those new to Alaska or looking in from the outside, termination dust is the first dusting of snow on the tops of the mountains. In Anchorage it's most evident on the tops of the Chugach mountains. It not only is a heads up that fall is here, but a sad notification that it won't be long before that snow is everywhere. Compared to most of the state, Anchorage has pretty mild winters as far as temperature and snow fall, but it still gets darker and darker from here on out.





See it yonder in thar mountains!!!!


It's coming.  Just a matter of weeks!

 I wanted to add this picture of the other side of the mountain range.  Have I told you how beautiful it is up here?
