In The Summertime

Even though we aren’t quite there yet, I thought I’d post a couple of summertime pictures.

For me, this is the time when summer foliage and most of nature looks the best. The colors are still bright and fresh. The air is warm or hot. But, the humidity isn’t  brutal. Everything is sparkly. Everything is possible.

Swimming. Cook outs. Trips to the beach. Sitting outside by the pool. Or, sitting on the stoop. Fireflies. In The United States, July 4th fireworks. Really fresh summer fruit and vegetables. Road trips. Baseball. Stickball. Fire plugs opened.

It’s all good.

In case you are wondering, in the Northern Hemisphere, Summer Solstice arrives on June 21 at 6:51am EDT.

At least that’s what I read in The Old Farmer’s Almanac.
