I came across a couple of sunflowers at a local community gardens yesterday. This first one was a little more shy than the other one I saw.

Solstice dancer
On Sunday evening I was part of the drum circle at the Olbrich Park solstice celebration. It was amazing. I took a short photo break from drumming just after the bonfire was lit and people started dancing. After the fire died down to a safe level, the crowd was invited to put their written wishes for the coming year into the fire.
Happy solstice! May all your solstice wishes come true.
Tree swallows
I enjoyed watching these tree swallows, especially while they were flying around hunting insects in the air. Unfortunately, the second photo is the closest I came to having a decent action shot. ☹️ More practice is needed, I suppose.

Just keep still
High Cliff limestone
Limestone formations along the western edge of High Cliff State Park. My favorite spot in the park.

Dame’s rocket is a beautiful wildflower, unfortunately it’s also an invasive species. This section of Calumet County Park is a perfect example of how easily it can spread and choke out native plant life.

Great blue heron. After standing there for a minute or two, they decided it was time to look for some lunch in the pond.

When dark clouds are overhead, look for the rays of sunshine. The sun is shining somewhere, even if you don’t see it.
