21st. of June.

Always a sad time of the year for me.
After six Months of observing the days (daylight!) getting gradually longer together with its associated warmth, from today the days (daylight!) will gradually be getting shorter, heralding that Winter is on its way.. Cry..., together with its bitter cold and discomfort, (for me).

Late Summer and Autumn (Fall) is an attractive time of the year for Flora, but the shortening days always spoil the illusion for me!

Paul... Cool...!

Note: Days are always 24 hours long. Its the amount of daylight that gets less!.. Grin... Grin...!!

Just to remind you of home, Bud... Wink....

Very nice...(using Ultimate Terrain USA)... Wink...!
