Last night, I was out on the Summit Trail near Wickersham Dome, and I came across possibly 2 or 3 different species of dwarf willow. To the best of my knowledge, the ones photographed here are both Salix phlebophylla (1: male catkins and 2: female catkins). I have my work cut out for me in properly identifying all the species I have photographed so far, and I just wrote an article on the problem this morning: https://www.lwpetersen.com/alaska-wildflowers/introduction-to-dwarf-willows-of-alaska/

An aurora corona above the trees in late August. We have a little under three months before it gets dark enough again to see the aurora in Fairbanks, Alaska. I haven't seen much aurora while the leaves are still on the trees.

Yesterday was a fantastic day of hiking and photography in Alaska. I updated a wildflower guide, captured a black-capped chickadee collecting nest material, saw my first blooming wildflower of the season (northern kittentails), and hiked Wickersham Dome, unexpectedly meeting an old friend.
