Summer Soltice

Gorgeous 84 degree day.  Dale was home for the weekend but left today to head back up to the Island. I'll see him up there in about a week and a half.

Winter Solstice 2013

Today is the equinox.

Summer Solstice 2011

Today is the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere and the longest day of the year in 2011. This solstice occurs when the sun is farthest north in the sky and is directly above the Tropic of Cancer. Today may be the longest day of the year but that doesn't mean it's the warmest. The Earth will keep warming into July even as daylight decreases.
