My last free Sunday before I really have to get to work. I was contemplating going to Church, you know meet some of the local town folks. But it was just too nice a day to spend inside.
It was cool, maybe mid 40's but sunny with a light breeze. It was not long before I discovered caribou Skulls and other bones littering the tundra. The bones were returning back to the earth, decaying in the acidic boggy tundra.
Picked a lot of Cranberries and Blueberries. Also there were Crowberries. There seem to be so many common names it is hard to keep track of what is what.

After picking the tiny bog cranberries, each less than 2 mm, I called zoey back after she had been out chasin ground squirrels. I put her on a leash... good thing too, with in 15 minutes a lone male caribou trotted by about 80 yards away. That was a nice looking animal. I was too busy admiring it to take any pictures until after it had passed by.
About two miles south of the village I stumbled upon a little lake. On my way down to the lake I found some great blueberry spots. Yum. I almost stepped on some ptarmagine.... I can see how they would be easy shoot. They just stood there staring at me...
