summer solstice

I had a nice little walk through the park near my house today.
I've had a little gander on the interweb but I can't find an explanation as to why it is named 'iris brickfield' anyone care to enlighten me?

Anyway, I managed to get this nice sunny shot before it decided to rain...
(you wouldn't know it was the longest day of the year would you?)


P.S
I just realised this is the one month anniversary for me on Blip! I am impressed that I have actually managed to do 22 Blips too, not bad going for the first month.
