East of the Sun, West of the Moon

Down in the canyon that divides east from west, balanced on the edge between spring and summer. Blowing bubbles in the submersive heat, like breathing underwater. 6 planets align in the sky. A season of strange changes is upon us. 

Sun In Splendor

A day so hot, the air moves in slow motion. Heat shimmer rises into the sky. There's nothing to do but seek the water as the sun blazes its way toward the ends of the earth.

It's the burning edge of summer, and the morning chill of May is just a memory, unbelievable, ridiculous even, to think I could have ever felt so cold.

Sommersonnenwende

The day of the summer solstice.

Midsummer's Eve

Tomorrow is the solstice, so I spent the evening making flower garlands. Magic lives in the edges of things, and here is the margin between light and dark.

Merry Summer Solstice

No, I'm not doing some pagan hippie dance in the street, just holding the camera overhead in the last sunlight of Spring.

Strawberry Moon

After our walk, we watched the solstice moon rise over the trees. Then we all played freeze tag on the lawn.
