I just love the light and the flowers at this time of year. Here in British Columbia, dawn comes very early as we approach the summer solstice in June. Around about 4:30 in the morning the sky starts to lighten up. Even if the sun isn't that strong or hot (and it's not!), the light is lovely. And there are just so many beautiful flowers blooming. Our rhodos just keep coming, the dogwoods are flowering and the lupines (both wild and cultivated) glow with colour. This photo was taken about a week ago at Vancouver's Spanish Banks. Happy June!
Beautiful !
ReplyDeleteThe early morning light is lovely indeed. Especially for us desert dwellers, it gets sunny and hot early and the air looks it. So morning light is best here too.
It was 105 at my home yesterday.

I do love lupines. Their colors are so vibrant! I agree that the light in the morning is the best there is all day. Even in the winter.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous photo...I can just smell the fresh air, and feel the sunshine on the hill. Thanks for the mini-vacation!!
