~Summer Solstice~

Birds were busy finding partners, food,  and a place to raise their young.

Busy eating, preparing for the endless cycle of seasons.

Swift storms brought rainbows..

And beautiful evening skies.

And those storms brought the creek bed higher...

And made tiny water falls over every rock.

Every day was an adventure.

Every hour  a story waiting to be told.

The sunshine through the leaves made it seem
like reality was altered.

And the water begged to be swam in.

Standing on the shore was like looking to the future, never knowing what was in it,
yet excited to find out. 

Flowers waited impatiently to be picked.

And Tomorrow waited impatiently  to be discovered.

Yes, Summer had finally arrived.

“All in all, it was a never-to-be-forgotten summer — one of those summers which come seldom into any life, but leave a rich heritage of beautiful memories in their going — one of those summers which, in a fortunate combination of delightful weather, delightful friends and delightful doing, come as near to perfection as anything can come in this world.” 
― L.M. Montgomery, Anne's House of Dreams
