Celebrating midsummer in Glastonbury

We celebrated summer solstice on June 21st; the longest day in our calendar  and the start of high summer. This year on hiatus from Glastonbury festival, I spent my time in the town and its environs.

Midsummer is more than a moment in time, it is a mini season and it is a mood, a state of being. A time to feel colourful, joyful, with good physical energy and aliveness.

I'm sharing a few personal moments via photographs taken in recent days and letting the images speak for themselves. I  kept my schedule loose and unstructured, plenty of walks in the leafy lanes around Glastonbury Tor and low key gatherings with friends.

It has been wonderfully nourishing and subtle. I look forward to many happy days ahead as summer unfolds.
