On the cusp of summer, a beautiful young blue jay has it made in the shade and savors a lovely late spring morning in mid-June at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.

Golden hues sweep and swirl across the winter sky as flocks of Canadian Geese glide toward the point of sunset on the Winter Solstice of December 21, 2022 in this abstract image I captured from the Jordan Creek Greenway at Covered Bridge Park, Orefield, Pennsylvania.
The Winter Solstice ~ the first day of winter ~ astronomically marks the beginning of lengthening days and shortening nights.
The word solstice comes from the Latin words for “sun” and “to stand still.” In the Northern Hemisphere, it always occurs around December 21 or 22.
