True Summer arrives in Dutch Harbor, Fish Frys, Pampered Chef, And Housekeepers picking salmonberries. (and A shot or two of Shadow as well)

First of ALL, Summer, REAL SUMMER has finally come to Unalaska and the Port Of Dutch Harbor. Temperatures in the 70's and POSSIBLY an 80 the other day. This is possibly due to the Island being very happy with us, or Our Friend Diane Green Visiting us from Texas and Bringing all the heat with her. Either way it has been one of the best weeks "weather Wise" That I have ever experienced in Unalaska, and Timed just right with the Salmon Berries turning ripe.
I even Got to take the Housekeepers out after work one day. (More on that Later but here is a shot of them)

Thanks To the quick actions of Public Safety and the Fire Department a real tragedy was averted when some IDIOT threw "Seal Bombs" (Think about 3X as powerful as an M-80 firecracker) Into the spare nets at the end of the Spit Dock.

It was looking pretty bad there for a bit but they soon had it under control. Way to Go Guys and Gals!

Shadow at the Spit the Next day, running through the flowers and Grass that could have been lost due to idiocy!
