Summer Solstice!

Summer for me 

is a season to wander mountain roads

to do things that i begin to long for in the snowy months

deep seasons are like that

they each hold their unique activities

 

 

i still find it strange

that with the beginning of summer

the days begin to get shorter 

and 

nights longer

~

Sweet and blessed Solstice to You all!

(whether is is Summer or Winter in  your land)

I also just got back from camping there
it was so beautiful!

my ocean is a lake
