Happy Summer Solstice!
Edit: Magyar created this beautiful poem:

I took this photograph of this flower at Descanso Gardens. I believe it is a dahlia summer annual. I photographed it on one of my summer visits, so I thought it would be perfect for today. I love how it is both white and yellow. I hope that you will enjoy this photo!
I love to paint flowers, you may see some of my finished paintings at lisarusso.com if you'd like.

Here is a sketch of a big eyed maiden. She is looking with great interest at something and has roses and a summer bonnet hat upon her head. I think she is most likely an angel fairy, although she could also be a goddess or a mermaid. I'm unsure if I'll paint her or not, but I did enjoy sketching her...
I've decided to try and do a sketch a day in June. This is day 21.
This is a rough sketch.

Lovely Dahlia and a beautiful maiden!
As beautiful as that flower is, it can't compete with that fascinating hairstyle.
This flower is so gorgeous!
Thanks very much Valerie, Jennifer, Magyar, Christine, Martin, and SHON!
Thanks so much Magyar for the beautiful poem, I have added it to the post.
That dahlia is lovely, very unusual markings I've not seen before.
All the best Jan
