Today June 21st is an official first day of summer. It's called Summer solstice in Northern Hemisphere when the earth's axial tilt is most inclined towards the sun. It is also known as the longest day of the year and a mark of the beginning of summer season.


Most of the shrubs, flower plants are drying and toasting due to the hot weather but those tiger lily flowers amazingly growing and survive in the heat.
