We have reached the longest day this year – already. So fast the days , hours and minutes flow. Time is Unstoppable. The flowers are just beginning their parade and the birds have released their first fledglings. From now on, it will get darker for every day we open in our calender. But, for all of you down under – summer is returning!
I hope you will enjoy a walk with me to some of the wild flowers and orchids of June in Skåne. Most of them are different Dactylorhiza. Wishing a Happy Midsummer to you who celebrate, and a lovely weekend to all of you!






Wonderful captures for summer solstice 🙂
Thank you, Hammad!
Wonderful bokeh flower shots Ann-Christine 😀 But yes, the days will get shorter from this point, although thankfully we should still have plenty of summer to enjoy.
Thank you, Sarah, and hopefully there are many summerdays left!
Beautiful orchids, Ann-Christine. So lovely to hear it is warm and the days are long over there. Time does seem to go fast and I hope you cherish every moment and enjoy summer. You are right, summer is returning to down under at some point. We just had the longest day today. It has been cold this week but so far, otherwise a mild winter. Wishing you well this season and looking forward to more photos from you 😊💕
Mabel – always sweet. Thank you. My son is getting married, so, lots of preparations and fun! Wishing you much joy and a happy season!
What a beautiful set of wildflowers, A C! Excellent captures, a great start to my day!
Thank you, Sue!
Thanks for the wonderful orchids and have a lovely summer time !
Wishing you the same, thank you!
You too!
Beautiful. I especially like the one that has the shaving brushes!
Ah yes- a favourite!
How lovely are these! That one with the ‘tassles’ is intriguing. Many of our wildflowers have gone already, Ann-Christine, and the heat of summer is building. Early morning and evenings are the best time now. Enjoy your white nights!
It is very dry here, so not many wildflowers left. The orchids grow in marshland, so hopefully they will last some weeks.
