Summer Solstice


Star Bunny Studio 2013

The best part of a cross-country road trip is the beautiful scenery. 
Over the last few days I traveled 3,000+ miles and have seen 15 states. 

Being that today is the summer solstice, in celebration of the sun 
I thought I would share a few of the colorful sunsets I saw while crossing the USA.

Solstice is Latin for "sun stands still".  
It is the longest day and shortest night of the year.
The solstice marks the official start of the summer season in the northern hemisphere.

 The summer solstice in association with agriculture has served as a celebration of 
reaching a turning point in the growing season. The longer warmer days ahead 
are vital for proper development of food crops.

During this time of the year the sun's rays illuminate the sky 
in ways unseen at any other time of the year. 

I hope these photos inspire you to get out and enjoy the summer sun this weekend.
