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.
Dear Tille, I am enjoying your blog, thanks for writing. Maybe you &/or someone(s) you know can use this. It is inspiration for the dark time of the year, and for anytime of the year. Know there is light in so many hearts in so many places. Instruments from trash: www
Enjoy.
I’ve searched but am unable to find a web, or address, where people can contribute. Please lt me know if you find such.
Best and love, Sue

Friends, the link is
to watch a trailer for Landfill Harmonic, an upcoming documentary about a musical orchestra in Paraguay, “where young musicians play instruments made from trash.” Inspiring, indeed, and well worth the four minute watch.
