Monday, June 3rd, 2019 - the conditions and temperature of the local vicinity in Petersburg Alaska are balmy, tepid... the area is filled with a dry and airborne dust, thin, light, dispersed, and hanging on the edges of the elements ... (less dust in the air than previous summers, although, today, June 3rd, 2019 -there was a quality of the most dust packed into dry air, so far, for the season). Conditions are heated, the atmosphere is like that of Arizona’s terrains (plain-like). The settings are measured at the edge of a major Alaskan rainforest. The air flow is slight, “flowy”, and completely dry, edges of particles are sharp, jutting, with many particles in between being the damp life force soaring out from the trees.
At 5:25 the rain begins to fall, in long emotional tears, beautiful and dreary, as if from an immortal queen of the sky, lost in tragedy. As I am looking out through the forest, I can almost see the long tresses, in soaked tangles, falling over the treetop’s limbs, drenching nature in an aching languish. At 5:25 pm, the rains become fuller in depth, and resemble the sort of rain which carries a feature only found in the Alaskan expression of the misty tundra and nearby muskegs (usually witnessed in Late September and the 1st, to the 3rd, of October, specifically during the sunrise, and in the midst of a forested enclosure).
Conditions are shifting sporadically, from light to dim, then a darkened atmosphere converting to a sunny and bright one (this has been the average day, in forecasts, for 2019’s summer season). Wind is nearly absent from the surroundings, yet, a feathery and stilled torrent, seems to move darkly from the shaded background of forest (heavily treed), a cooled undertow to a warm summer current.

At eventide the rain is glistening and diamond-like on the leaves.
