Midsummer reign

Midsummer in Sweden is often wet…

But the irises don’t mind.

Bike handles are transformed into works of art

And plants are fireworks of pearly raindrops.

It’s Midsummer’s Eve here on Friday:

May your maypoles always be rich in flowers!

For more flowery greetings, please go to: Our World.

  1. From such beautiful photos I can always learn a lot in my photography.
    Even though my photos are not nearly as good.
    Practice makes perfect.
    Thank you for this message.

  8. The three photos displayed are very cool. I was amazed to see frozen water drops …, because only in certain areas in my country experienced such an ice drop. Greetings from Indonesia.

  9. Ljuvliga bilder! Och visst är det så… Midsommar och regn hör liksom ihop på nåt sätt. Hur många år har man inte stått vid midsommarstången och huttrat… Men det hör liksom till. Hoppas du får en härlig midsommarhelg!

  10. Irises have always been one of my favorite flowers since I was a kid. I missed seeing them altogether this year, as this is my first ever summer spent here in Saudi Arabia. Hope you are staying well.
