Summer Nights

Well, it is theoretically summer; 22nd June, longest days of the year - and usually, a bit of heat too. 

I was out in the garden at quarter to ten, giving everything a bit of a spray because it has been quite bright and windy all day, but not at all warm.  I took this photo at that time, and I love the fact that it was so bright at that time.  I'd be happy to completely dispense with darkness, for ever, and always. 

I'm hoping it is going to heat up a little bit though, because 10c - really?  At midsummer?

Don't know what has happened to my peonies; out of 5 this is the only one which has flowered.  Ah well, maybe next year.
