“Sun Worship” if you want my $0.02….

Astronomically speaking, summer is June 21 to September 21, but culturally Memorial Day to Labor Day is traditionally summer. For the purposes of this contest, anything shot from Memorial Day to now is fine, or if you’re in the southern hemisphere, December through March.

I have a funny story about that, well funny for me. In March of 2009 a group us flew to South Africa for a humanitarian mission, we were there from most of the month..so I literally experienced all four seasons in one month. We left Toronto in the winter, landed in South Africa in their summer, March 21 came and went, we’re now into fall, flew back to Toronto, it’s spring!

One B which I should have probably used in place of the #3 I posted:

I?m practicing for the procrastinator contest I?ll post some later.
