Allegedly it's the Summer solstice tomorrow! We should get blue skies. In anticipation, here's what has been called a 'pangram' or an 'abecedarian'. Both words had to be looked up!

SUMMER
Azure blue cloudless days -
Every flower growing high.
Insects jittering, knocking lightly,
Muted noise of pastures quiet.
Rivers sluggish, trickling under
Verdant woodland, xylocarpous* ...
... Year's zenith!
(*means 'bearing woody fruit')
Mmm! Perhaps it's time for some heads and tails pictures ...
