Summer Solstice?

Seriously, Mother Nature? This is the best you can do?

Today is Summer Solstice; the longest day (in regards to daylight hours) in the year. Here at our house, it dawned (more or less) overcast and once again raining. I’m beginning to feel like I’m in a rainy version of “Groundhog Day”.

Trying to keep a positive attitude (well, for the most part – and I did say “trying”), I’ve attempted to take photos for my blog on as many bright, blue-sky sunny days as possible.

I’ve tried to focus on the bright side in my blogs this spring and summer. I honestly have tried to downplay the dark, wet, gloomy days.

This is becoming more and more difficult. I have only so many photos of sunshine, primarily because I can count actual sunny summer days here in south-central Alaska this year using not much more than one hand. ☔️

It’s hard to leave the gloomy days out entirely or I wouldn’t have much of a blog. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Then again, even a rainy day can have it’s beautiful moments.

So, hey … Happy Summer Solstice, everyone. I’ll continue to seek out the silver linings on those big, gloomy clouds – even as I begin the dreaded countdown towards winter.
