Midsummer Eve - Edward Robert Hughes - 1908
I still don't fully understand my fascination with solstices and equinoxes, but today is the summer solstice or Midsummer Day or Litha or whatever you wish to call the longest day (or close to the longest day) in the northern hemisphere.
For reasons I can't explain, I've always associated solstices and equinoxes with spirits, elves, and fairies. Probably Shakespeare's influence; however, I sense something deeper. Whatever the case, the painting above is a good representation of the sort of "feeling" I get every summer solstice.
