seahearthHappy solstice to all! Me and Sam are in Onewhero, and today we had a very quiet at-home day.
A walk in the evening — twisting and piling clouds in apricots and peaches and pinks and reds, colours of sky from eggshell to azure to clear dun to gold; fields lying away in ploughed red-brown, in new-leaf green, in the purple-green of established brassica. Smell of hot grass cooling, and mud in one valleylet where a stream flowed. Still air passing out of day’s heat. Shade of hills becoming evening’s dark. Full light of moon rising behind dim Eastern clouds.
And that was my solstice, though the sun stopped coming South and paused and turned around and started off North again in the morning sometime.
