Summer Solstice Today


This is the first day of Summer.
I love the longer days. 
Walking at day break has always been
a special time for me. 
The sun comes up over SF Bay and then
is reflected off of a fire tower on the
top of Mt.Tam. 
As I walk, the top of the mountain glows
 as if the sun was shining into a mirror.

I live in a very beautiful spot
right on the marsh by the Bay.


Our garden has some very tall Hollyhocks.
It is amazing that they stand tall even 
in the wind.
They seem very top heavy with 
their brilliant blooms.


Here is a journal page I did as 
I enjoyed the late afternoon sun in the garden.


This page is from Lesson 2 of an online class.
The assignment was to play with the color green
and see how to paint 
the different leaves of plants.
