Sunbeams : an ode to the sun on Summer's solstice

Today is Summer solstice. And Anne's photochallenge, the Satur9photochallenge gave us the challenge of photographing light two weeks ago.  Since I preplan posts and I am always behind in reading blogs, I have a delay. But I was inspired to scroll through my pictures archive and noticd I love photographing into the sun. Often that's a failure, often it is a real gem.   And for Anne's photochallenge I couldn't just pick one picture...I wanted so many.  (and Anne: half of them can do for landscape and sunset later on as well)

So here on Summer's solstice, I post my ode to sunbeams and sunlight.
