Merry Solstice, Friends!

As you know, I’m not so much into the hol­i­days, but Sol­stice always res­onates with our sea­son­ally dri­ven, migra­tory life. So it was a spe­cial treat to start today with one of Lynn Schooler’s stun­ning Alaskan pho­tographs, cap­tioned with his own appre­cia­tive acknowl­edge­ment of Win­ter Sol­stice. My thanks to Lynn for his per­mis­sion to share his photo and sen­ti­ments with you.

Lynn wrote, “There was the fad­ing win­ter light, with alpen­glow on the moun­tains, and sud­denly a fully grown hump­back whale burst from the sea toward the sky

Happy sol­stice, every­one. Let’s cel­e­brate. We made it around the cor­ner and we’re head­ing back toward spring.

(Of course, you’re always wel­come to click ‘share’ on my pho­tos if you like, or if we are not already friends, shoot me a friend request and I will be happy to accept.)”

If you’re not famil­iar with author/photographer Lynn Schooler’s work, you can start with this review of one of my favorite books. Happy Sol­stice, friends — my best wishes to you and yours.
