Brunswick, Maine
Scenes from Aldermere Farm, Rockport, Maine.
Even as the days grow longer, June is often a damp and foggy month. Rain or shine, our state lights up its roadsides and meadows with the welcome sight of masses of buttercups. The summer solstice is today and from now on we will begin to lose precious minutes of daylight while we say farewell to the buttercups' cheerful glow as they make way for daisies, black eyed susan and finally, the rippling sea of goldenrod.
I think this rendition of Build Me Up Buttercup is rather sweet!
