Fall is here in Alaska

The leaves have not only changed from green to orange and yellow but they have also started falling off. There are quite a few trees without their leaves as of late. The view outside our window looks like this.

The tide was out when I took the pictures and if you look past the naked trees, out in the bay, you can see what I like to call the sandbars.

And since the tide was out, Aaron and I decided to take a walk out on the beach. The ropes that are in the picture hold the buoys out in the bay. The buoys were laying on the beach when we started walking. But as we we walking, the tide started coming back in. The rust line on the wall shows where the water level is during high tide.


When we started walking back, the sun was also starting to set. It's cold and beautiful out on the bay.
While we were on the beach, we started looking for sea glass. I found some clear-ish glass that kinda looks like someone's retainer. Aaron found some green glass. We also found some glass that wasn't as worn as it will be in the next hundred years. We took those pieces and threw them back in the bay. We are fortunate that the beach has been littered with beer and soda bottles for many years.


Besides the glass pieces that we threw back, we also tried skipping stones on the bay. Neither one of us was very successful. I think it might have something to do with the size of the rocks we were throwing.
