Solstice Sunset

Well, there you have it..........the 2008 summer solstice sunset, as seen from my vantage point here in the northern hemisphere, in Iowa, U.S.A. And, right on time as officially predicted, at 8:51 p.m. CST.

I couldn't have asked for more gorgeous birthday weather than we had today!! Actually, June 20 rarely turns out to be a bad weather day. Spring volatility has passed, and early summer takes over, warm and mellow.......in most years, anyway!!
