Fireweed

Fireweed is the signature plant of the far north. In less northerly regions, it can be found at high altitude, such as my yard.


It also grows in profusion on the north side of the neighboring Arctic Cat snowmobile building.

The blooms have long since passed on to seed, and now the fireweed is showing its fall color of orange and red. You can also see how smoky the sky is today, but unlike yesterday, the mountains are vaguely visible.
