Summer Solstice in Aotearoa – Photo Essay
Everything is abloom
San Pedro cactus thrust their flowers outwards at exactly Summer Solstice
the longest day and shortest night of the year
We think the ancestors of this Rata Tree once stood where our house stands now
and somehow this fledgling this mokopuna
has forged new life
blooming red and sure
beckoning the visitors
and welcoming the family home
Meanwhile Blue Borage calls in the bees
and the lettuce is blooming and feeding the family with sunlight, air, and energy
And so we thrive, surrounded in the flowers, the warmth and the generosity of summer.
