Some photos from the coldest midsummer in 30 years.

Visited the Prästgårdsparken in Sorunda during the Midsummer celebrations. They have a very different take on how the "Midsommarstång" should look like. It's a tradition that dates back many years. Didn't stay for the dancing this time so this is as traditional as it got. But I did enjoy a bite of the famous Sorundatårta, a pastry with a very secret recipe.

It was a rainy midsummer but I managed to get this photoshoot of Samelia doing some midsummer magic and lighting a bonfire. Sun even started shining after 10pm which was nice.

Shot during midsummer in the Alberta Rockies when perpetual twilight keeps the night from getting fully dark. Mars can be seen rising to the left of the ridgewalker. This photo was chosen as SkyNews photo of the week, July 27, 2018.

Dance around the pole

Looking down the Midsummer path at the bed of Ligularia Othello and through the old iron gate with the clematis vine. The Goldstrum Rudbeckia on either side here were especially nice this season. The taller plants to either side are a variety of Helianthus which is a sunflower native to the prairies out west.

----------------------------

Well, I suppose it was inevitable... the grey Sard is the one I miss in my collection (my private herd of Sards XD ) so he will arrive in the future, now it depends on Soom. I am waiting for a new doll since some years, I feel a bit excited.... :-D just a bit ahah I have to think about a name for him...

midsummer is upon us!

gather your herbs, collect sweet rainwater, prepare the fires; at this time the sun is at its apex, the planets' arc swings elliptical and eternal....

dreams are afoot, a carnival of love; dance your blessing and sing your prayer, for this is the moment for potentiality, for wishing, for making.
