Today marks the Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere.   The longest day of the year, when, in this hemisphere, the earth is tilted closest to the sun.

Discovered this one little flower, blooming between steps into the pool area.  It had to have seeded itself.  :-)

I so love the color combination of my petunias in pots, on back patio....

(I apologize for the too-large-horizontal photos below)
.

And now we begin a series of photos, of the water flowing and bubbling, from the little bird bath fountain, into the little pond. 

(And the horizontal photos are too long.  I apologize.)

I know!   "Over kill"!!!  ,-)  Too many pics of water and bubbles.   ,-)

But ...   Just scroll down, if you want to.  :-))))

There!!!!   Those are done!!!!

And now, I am excited about the fact that the Summer Solstice (in the Northern Hemisphere) and the Full Strawberry Moon, coincide on this coming Monday!!!!
.
I love to celebrate seasonal changes.  And also love the Full Moons.  So this will be a very special day/night.  :-)

Has a smile of light
And she sits on a sapphire throne."

I love this illustration.

For me, it is "A March Hare Among The Faeries"...

Time for changes......

 link

Time to change my blog look, from Christmas Time, to New Years Time.  Changing the look of my blog, is one of the greatest joys of blogging, for me.  Not everyone chooses to.  Which is fine.  But I do....

Not really ready for the New Year to come, yet.  I prefer to look on this week, the way someone referred to it.....   As the week, when time rather stands still.  A time of quiet, after all the Holiday preparations.  A time to take it easy, and contemplate...  The Season past...  The New Year coming...  The Season of Winter coming...

.

So far, our Winter has been unseasonably mild.  But colder weather is settling in.  Don't look forward to the possibility of ice.   But colder would be more natural, for my part of the world.

"Deep within the winter forest,

among the snowdrifts wide,

you can find a magic place

where all the fairies hide..."

.

Now that, is a delightful way, to view the coming real Winter!
