Yay for you Eliza enjoy! It’s actually quite beautiful here in winter, we can still walk along the beach and feel warm sun. ๐โ๏ธ๐๐
Sounds lovely – thanks, Karen!
What a great, summery shot. ๐ Happy Summer Solstice to you too, Eliza!
Thank you, Robin!
Happy Solstice, Eliza. ๐
I think the Seagull is thinking…”oh, joy” I’m going to have some yummy ‘beach goers sandwiches!’
Don’t you know it! They’ve figured out the great stuff in those bags and coolers and the second you wander off, they pillage!
Happy solstice to you to Eliza and enjoy your summer garden.
Thank you, Carol.
Let the sun shine! A long warm summer to you Eliza๐
Thank you, Belinda. If only I could s-l-o-w it down to make it last longer. ๐
I feel the same way!
Happy Solstice, Eliza!! ๐ป
Thank you, Betty!
Wonderful photo to start the season and enjoy your summer!๐
Thank you!
Happy Solstice! ๐
Thank you, Maysa!
Happy Summer Solstice to you, Eliza. We’ve just had a glorious sunny, (but cold), week here in Melbourne, Australia, but July is often our coldest winter month and August I alway think has the best snow skiing up in the alpine regions of the state.
I don’t mind the cold, but I hate the strong winds that turn heavy rain into a soaking and also turn umbrellas inside out.
Thank you, Vicki. Lashing rain, esp. when cold, is no fun. I hope your winter is a good one. ๐
Best wishes for an enjoyable summer, Eliza!
Thank you, Kris. Hope yours isn’t too scorching!
Yay, summer!

Happy summer Eliza, winter is very cold over here this year.
Thank you, Karen. Hope you’ve been feeling well and weathering the cold – stay cozy!
You have a knack for capturing the quintessential image Eliza!
Thank you, Kathy! Are you at the cabin yet?
Every chance I get but not full time until the end of July
Oh, it’s summer alright. Upper 90’s with heat indexes into the 100’s. Ugh. That’s about 36 degrees Celsius! I’m definitely more or a British weather kind of gal. Happy summer!
Thanks, Wendy. That’s hot! We’ve been enjoying cool temps in the Northeast lately, which I love, but its a bit hard on the tomatoes, peppers and other annuals.
I was thinking you live in the UK. Am I wrong about that?
Massachusetts! ๐
Hmm, wonder where I got that from? Oh well! ๐

Happy summer Eliza! Did you get to visit the beach?
Thank you, Cathy. No, we never made it to the beach last summer, sadly. It’s become too much for a day trip and staying overnight can be expensive. Then there’s the pets at home, too. I did make to Maine by myself for a few days, which was lovely. I wish the ocean was a bit closer!
It’s a long way for us too. My visit to the sea last autumn will have to keep me going for a couple of years! ๐
And that summer is very welcome in its arrival this year! Not that you would know from my blog, which seems to be winter-y this week (I blame myself for scheduling all those posts a couple months ago).
I’m still a bit PTSD about last winter. Maybe by August I’ll have got over it. ๐
Great image depicting all things going on in the summer.
Thank you, Maria. My favorite time of year!
A refreshing photo. It looks so inviting. Im off to see the sea next week.
Ooh, lucky you, Alison. Thanks and enjoy the beach!
Thankyou, Im hoping some sea air is gonna do me good, its been a while.
“What are those humans doing in my photo shoot? Alvin? Alvin, where are you? I thought you said this was a private beach? I’m not moving a feather until they’re gone … Oh, it’s so hard to get good help these days!”

That is a happy sweet photo! I miss the celebrations in Sweden. Midsommar (summer solstice) is the second biggest holiday of the year there. Lots of good food with friends and family, usually at an island, by a lake, or in the forest somewhere. Enjoy your weekend ๐
Thank you, Maria. It is a great time of year and worthy of celebration!
Indeed!!
Amazing write-up!
