This year the Summer Solstice is on June 20th.  It marks the beginning of summer.  
 

The summer solstice occurs when one of the Earth's poles has its maximum tilt toward the Sun.  This creates the longest day of the year.  
 

I added the picture of STONEHENGE, because over the centuries there have been festivals, ceremonies, and rituals associated with the summer solstice.  Lots of interesting lore.  You can find out more at:  

 

 

HAPPY SUMMER!!!
