Happy summer solstice

Happy Summer Solstice! Today is the first day of summer, and the longest day of the year.
We in Prescott have had great weather this spring. Cool temperatures, even some extra rainfall. It was the nicest spring I remember, and I’ve been in Az since 1977. My husband Gary is a native of Prescott and he agrees. 
We are hoping for a wet, cooler than normal monsoon season. And no forest fires!

Swainson’s hawk in flight

Swainson’s Hawk

I was going outside when I heard a hawk’s call. Got my camera and captured this image of a Swainson’s hawk in flight, slightly backlit.
