Longer, warmer days...

Happy Mother's Day Steemit!

In the middle of May, the days are getting longer and warmer in Minnesota.
Spring started off looking a lot like winter, but not anymore.

I was in my backyard at 8pm tonight, and it was still sunny with blue sky and awesome clouds!

I'm pretty sure Bob Ross painted a few of the clouds tonight...

One thing that always blows my mind, is how drastic the difference is between the length of days in summer and winter.
Just a few weeks ago, it was certainly dark by 8, and a few months ago, it was getting dark at 3pm.
I realize that the effect is amplified by daylight savings time, but even without it, the shift is drastic.

Someday I would love to make it to the land of the midnight sun...
Iceland, Finland, Sweden and Norway are all on my list:)

From my backyard or high above the world?

It was a fine day for sitting in the backyard... now I'm going to catch up on sleep and maybe watch Cobra Kai:)

Beautiful clouds, beautiful photos!
And yay for Bob Ross! I still miss that man.

Me too. I think the answers to all questions are hidden somewhere in his show.

Great sky view for such an amazing day! It's amazing that even at 8pm you can see the blue color over your head, that's something I can't see in my country. All the colors in the sky are beautiful for me and capable of making us feel of a determined way. Anyways, regards from Venezuela! Upvoted!

That last photo looks like it was taken from the Space Station, @tarotbyfergus :)

I was surprised when I looked through the pictures I took and saw that one. There is a little bit of the roof of a garage in the corner of the photo, and it makes it look like it's a picture of Earth from space!

8pm with clear skies? What a gift!!!!
I finished Cobra Kai and can’t wait for the next season!

It's so good!
I love when the kid is washing the widows and he asks Johnny if there's any special way to do it.
Johnny was like "I don't give a shit. Do the toilet next."
Lol

Omg yes!!!! It’s always banquet beer time for Johnny! Haha

I love it!
