We are again at the Kenai Fjords Glacier Lodge for a couple of weeks doing some post-season work and post-season play. Even here, the sun’s been shining most of this month–and this is a rainforest. But no more.
It’s been raining for two days, and this is the marine forecast for the weekend (the highlighting is mine).

The lodge is well protected, but we may see some dramatic weather tomorrow. I love the drama of this place, even the blustery wet kind. We’ve got a cozy cabin, lots of wood, some books, and stitching supplies. We’ll weather the weather just fine.

Holy Moley! That’s some big-time wind! And is the picture a jellyfish? Good Heaven’s, it’s raining jellyfish!
Jelly fish?? have fun!
Crack me up, Linda! Yep, that’s a jellyfish. We saw a gazillion of them in the harbor on our way out here. I’ve never seen such a quantity. We think they were up to something.
That picture is so cool. I always think of jellyfish as warm water critters.
