Some say there are only two seasons in Alaska: Winter and the remaining months. While the landscape of Alaska is covered in snow for sometimes as long as seven months, snowy landscapes do not always mean that it's winter. If the rivers have thawed and there are new leaves on the trees - it's Spring, regardless of snow on the ground.

Summer brings a lush green carpet which spreads across the tundra. Wildflowers bloom in a riot of colors. The wildlife is active and enjoying the long hours of daylight.

Autumn leaf changes begin in August and continue through most of September, until - in what seems like less than 24 hours - the trees drop their leaves and we're left with bare limbs. And then the snow comes... again.

I've tried to divide my landscape photos into seasons, but you will find that there are photos in each set which were taken during the seasonal overlap. Snowy landscapes look like 'winter', but I call the photos 'spring'.
