I'm so sorry for my absence lately, the weather has been really bad and I'm running out of ideas ^^'
I'm going to Cyprus tomorrow and I'll be spending the rest of this week there. When I come back home, I'll try to be more active here! ♥ I hope you have had great weeks ^__^
Happy belated birthday to Madison Blanche! ♥
Midsummer - grain fields are already being harvested. In the past, this was August, which was known for its harvest time and its hot dog days. A stubble field near Dechsendorf, the intense sun with its picture-filling rays, which captured the Canada geese, produced an almost surrealistic motif/image just before sunset yesterday.
Many picture titles/descriptions come to mind....
It's midsummer! Or well, it was. And as usual, it was cold, rainy and this time also very windy.
It's somehow a written rule that every midsummer needs to be rainy and cold. Sometimes we even get snow. It had been really warm and dry since May and of course it starts raining when it's time to celebrate midsummer outside!
Thankfully the rains removed most forest fire warnings that would have prevented burning the traditional midsummer bonfire. I didn't see one this year but at least I had fun in every other way that is traditional to midsummer! A lot of grilling, hanging out and sleeping at a cottage and let's not forget all those mosquitoes! The joy.

In Sweden, the most common celebration of midsummer is linked to dancing around a midsummer rod - a leafy and flower-wound rod or pile, either in the form of a cross with wreaths hanging from cross-country or one or more larger wreaths hanging in strips and wrapping the pile.
You make rings and dance around the bar while singing the famous play guards. The midsummer bar probably came to Sweden from Germany in the 1300s or 1400s. It is also known as a cane, some of the stems of the aged word maja, meaning "jewelry with leaves." Others believe that the name comes from German Maibaum.
Having a flower wreath in the hair is common during midsummer, mainly among children and women. You can tie them with birch or steel wire as a base and add leaves and flowers.
In Midsummer, it is common in Sweden to eat food sauce, sour cream and chives, fresh potatoes and strawberries for dessert. Midsummer is largely associated with just the fresh potato, which is usually served with dill. Many drink snaps to the food.
Linked to Midsummer, there is also a strong tradition of alcohol consumption in connection with the celebration , which makes Midsummer weekend one of the times of the year when most fuss and noise occur.
“…І на світанку вмиється Земля
Ранковою холодною росою.
І буде чути пісню солов'я,
А не ревіння літаків над головою…” /Олена Горголь-Ігнатьєва “Украдена весна”
“…And at dawn, the Earth will be washed
With cold morning dew.
And the song of the nightingale will be heard,
Not the roar of airplanes overhead…” /Olena Gorgol-Ignatieva “Stolen Spring “
ほんとに暑かったです。ミツバチはこの暑さのなか忙しく蜜集めに励んでおりました。
It was really hot today. Despite the heat, this bee was busy collecting honey.
“Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.”

It is an old custom to light fires on the lake shores on Midsummer night. One of the original purposes of bonfires has been to keep evil spirits away.

武蔵村山市のひまわり園へ行ってきました。
残念なことに10日ほど前の強風で背の高いひまわりは折れてしまったそうです。でもこの角度から見ると武蔵野台地もなかなかです。
I went to the sunflower garden in Musashimurayama.
Unfortunately, the strong wind about 10 days ago broke the tall sunflower. But from this angle, the Musashino Plateau looks cool.

Many thanks to everyone for your visits, comments and faves!
Very much appreciated!
It’s all over now, it seems
Just not more than a Midsummer Dream
I saw this Rose in the State of Decay
My Memories of its Beauty
Are slowly but slowly fading away ….
