We've just passed #MayDay #Beltane #Ūsiņi in the Latvian tradition- all based on the Cross-quarter day between Spring Equinox and Summer Solstice.
In the Latvian division of the year, this marks the beginning of the #TimeOfFlowers
#bees #flowers #greening of the land ++ are associated with this time. I have a blog post with pics + vids of bees, flowers etc and link to another post about the roots of the Latvian celebration.

Welcome to the first smoke day of the year in #YEG, I’m sure it won’t be the last.

This plume of smoke comes from intense wildfires in northeastern BC, and is brought to you courtesy of every regressive petrostate province that wants to burn it all down as long as there’s profit to be made.

#FireSmoke #Alberta
