Lillies of the 'Sun'!

Hi everyone.... I interrupt the 'ways of Autumn' to bring you.... you...who are being plagued with the grim and grey days of 'Autumn' Past.....the thrill of 'summer yellow'... Lets just pretend momentarily.... that summer has just begun and we are basking in the warmth of the summer 'solstice'... Solstice comes from the Latin (sol, sun; sistit, stands). For several days before and after each solstice, the sun appears to stand still in the sky—that is.... its noontime elevation does not seem to change. In the Northern Hemisphere the longest day and shortest night of the year occur on this date, marking the beginning of summer. A rather simple explanation...but remember...we are just pretending here...and now we are enjoying 'Lillies of the Sun' on the longest day of the year...now..you must use your imagination....you know.....;o) So long to the grim and dark days...that usually follow our 'Autumn' past....isn't this more fun?.......who knows..we might even get a tan...silly but fun..... Thank you and enjoy! Marilyn

Thanks for leading us back to the days of summer (or ahead, as the case might be). I certainly know I enjoyed it and will think of it every time I pull this image out to use it on my desktop. Thanks, my friend.

"I never looked for it, gave it no name; yet I knew it always, when the gift of peace came. I stood quite still for the moment that it lasted...Then the light shifted slightly and the moment passed, leaving me...with the lasting echo of its presence.." Diana Gabaldon

Mesmerizing eye candy. The Lillies all seem to be bursting forward to show there sunny selves. The color is gorgeous - yummy and buttery. Fine details of the inner area, and the Lillies ready to bloom. Nice to see alittle purple and green peeking through in the background. Thanks Marilyn, for this warm happy image. You'll always be the *flower lady* to me :)

If you throw caution to the wind, check the weather first, cause the wind might change and throw your caution right back in your face
