The actual moment of solstice for we here in Central Standard Time was last night so I am a bit late.
I found this video and was quite surprised to see an image from here in Madison appear - the Monona Terrace.
I took yesterday off from work and went on an early morning hike completely oblivious to the forecast. A few drops were falling as I set out.
Being ensconced in the woods, the light sprinkling was barely noticeable.
It was a lovely day. Still on the cool side, everything was lush and verdant, and the birds were out singing and chirping and trilling.
Then the sprinkle became a shower. I stopped at one of overlooks where I could get some shelter and checked the forecast: showers and thunderstorms. D'oh!
While I cut the hike short, the walking I did was grand! Always great to be out in the woods.
Today's high is to be in the 90s(F). Uff da!
