@GuyLongworth Gustave Moreau "Galatea" c1896
Sea nymph Galatea, the fairest of all, loved mortal Acis. Cyclops Polyphemus had his lecherous eye on her, so crushed Acis' head with a stone. Galatea immortalised her beloved as a water sprite, whose blood would flow as a river forever more

#June is popular in folklore. Some say that if you see bats flying on a June evening, it's a sign hot weather's on its way. Also, if swallows fly near to the ground, it means rain is due, + 'a swarm of bees in June is worth a silver spoon'
