Happy Summer Solstice to everyone! The perfect holiday with no expectations. No one is disappointed or left out; everyone can enjoy the long hours of daylight. Even here a couple of degrees south of the tropic of cancer the days are longer althought the weather is the same. I am in a happy routine of doing my art, reading, swimming, walking, visiting beautiful spots to sketch the flora and fauna as well as people or even statues sometimes. Living on a budget promps me to find the good free/low cost things to do like parades and fireworks, parks and gardens, miles and miles of beaches. When protected sea creatures are up on the beach they are roped off and if information is know about them the volunteers who watch to protect them will share what they know. Which is how I know the sea turtle I drew was named Buster. So small pleasures are bountiful.
