Let The Sun Shine In!
In Celebration of Summer Solstice 2012

.

May the sun shine all day long,
everything go right and nothing wrong.
May those you love bring love back to you,
and may all the wishes you wish come true!

~~ Irish Blessing


These things I warmly wish for you:
Someone to love, Some work to do,
A bit o’sun, a bit o’cheer,
And a Guardian Angel always near.

~~ Irish Blessing


The Sun is one of the many things I love {snow will always be first!}. And today is Summer Solstice, which means it is the longest day of the year for sunshine in the Northern Hemisphere. To honor this extra long day of sun I have gathered a few of my favorite photos where the Sun has graced me with his sun-shiny beams of love. Enjoy!

Snow and Sun. *Bliss

"So this heifer phoned me the other day and mooed, 'Come on over, nobody's home.' I went over. Nobody was home."

Those two bulls crack me up! They are the funniest bulls I ever met. They should be at a comedy club doing stand-up.

Sun and Mud. This is the life.

Thanks for a great sunshiny day, Sun!

~~ MOMENT OF BEAUTY ~~

Giovanni di Paolo di Grazia, Five Angels Dancing Before the Sun, circa 15th Century (Musée Condé in the Château de Chantilly, Chantilly, France)

Nicolas Poussin, Helios and Phaeton with Saturn and the Four Seasons, circa 1635 (Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, Berlin, Germany)

Back to me...

The Sun beamed me with a powerful ray of sunlight to bestow special powers unto me. My special powers are to remain secret, so I can not woof about them.

The Sun Bubble seals in my new special powers.

I love the Sun!

Rainbows in my sun beams. I feel so blessed!

I know I am not supposed to woof about my special powers, however, I will advise the yummy bunnies that they might now want to think twice before taunting me. I'm just sayin'...

Phantom LOVES the sun. But the rest of us can go along with you for sure - snow and sun = pawesomeness. Sun and mud = FUN!!!

But that sun sure did make it hot here awfully quickly:(

Very good post, Suka.

Contrary to your belief of the sun, we don't like her so much because she is hot.

I guess when you live in a different continent, you look at the sun differently. Nice photos, Suka's Mom. I like how the rays are partially captured as if Suka is the one glowing.

Huggies and Cheese,

Oh yes, the sun is an amazing thing - though it is a wee bit hot for me at the moment. I sure do love that picture of you in the snow with the sun. My assistant loves when it is cold and snowy AND sunny. The air feels so crisp and clean and the sun warms the snow - it is just perfect!

Your pal, Pip

Nothing makes one feel as alive as the early morning sun and a brisk run at the Park! May this special day shower you with sunshine, blessings, a bounty of growing things, and a warm heart.

Hi Suka.

Thanks for visiting my Blog. You are very photogenic.

Can you send some sun our way please.

Berts Blog said...

Ho0t Hot Hot here. That sun is shining adn the only relief I have is the canal, the river, or my little pool. I would spend all my time in them if I could. It is just too hot.

So I could use a little less sun....
