Depends on where in the yearly cycle you measure the beginnings of seasons, from the solstices and equinoxes, or cross-quarter days. Measured by means of cross-quarter days, summer begins on or about the 5th of May, from which we get Mayday celebrations, Lady Day, etc.; autumn begins on or about August 5th (Lammas); winter begins on November 1st (Samhein), and spring begins on February 2nd (Candlemas). If I remember right, the UK observes cross-quarter days as the beginning of seasons. Here in America we go with the solstices and equnoxes: spring begins on or about March 20; summer begins on or about June 20; autumn begins on or about September 23; and winter begins on or about December 21. (And here in Seattle last May 28th, it was cold and drizzly, though a few days ago, it was extremely hot and muggy. Calendars are no guides to likely Seattle weather. :-) Al Hall says: "May 28th isn't a 'summer' day….."

My 2nd missed guess, both of Earthly images. I'm now 8 for 10. I figured it to be a radar image of solidified lava flows on Venus. Hey! Venus is the closest planet to Earth, no? Do I get part credit? I shoulda seen the wakes - a dead giveaway. The short blurb on the lake vacation was a nice touch. I love these things. Keep it up! Rats! My 2nd missed guess, both of Earthly images.
