Sunflowers Summer Solstice in Dixon, California

 

I took these five photos of sunflowers in the early morning of today’s Summer Solstice in Dixon, California. These are the first blooms of summer and it looks like there will be many more in the coming days of summer. Happy Solstice!

I took these pictures of a Delta Sunset over the Middle River along Bacon Island Road, a levee road. The last picture is one I took of the lunar eclipse on the winter solstice where I live in Stockton, California. I used a Nikon D300s with a prime lens Nikon DX 35 mm for the sunsets and a telephoto Nikon 80 to 400 mm lens for the lunar eclipse.
