I decided to see midsummer Sun rise from near home for the first time in many years. Stonehenge, Avebury and Porirua are wonderful but miracles take place nearer home too!

Here she is a while after clearing the horizon.

My attempt to photograph the old moon - a slender crescent - failed.

 

     
 

Sun touches Oak

acorns are growing

     
  Sun touches our home on the hill
   
  midsummer Sun sets at the end of the year's longest day
     
  a flourish of colour after Sun set
