Speaking of "dog days of summer"


There's no doubt that August in the mid-Atlantic region of the U.S. can be hot, and this month is typical. Up until the past few weeks, this summer has been cooler than normal and that's been nice. But now, Mother Nature is averaging it all out. So, when it gets hot like this, I look through my collection of photos I took under much cooler circumstances. Here's one such, taken near Portage Glacier in Alaska, south of Anchorage along the Seward Highway.
