An Evening on Blueberry Hill

This evening I walked around on Blueberry Hill with Don. Blueberry Hill is located just behind the museum annex where I work, and parallels Prince William Sound. We started walking around 8 PM, which sounds late, but it doesn't get dark here until after midnight, so we had plenty of light. We walked along a rocky gravel road and several dead end roads that intersected it. Once we got up on the hill just a little ways, it seemed as though we were outside Valdez, when in reality the town was just a few hundred yards away. It was a nice little walk, and it was good to get outside after a week of work. We enjoyed the area for a couple of hours before heading back home.

I think this is Fireweed budding
