#FlashbackFriday: On June 20, 2016, our photographer Jay Godwin captured a breathtaking view of a full moon rising over the #LBJLibrary. This event occurred on the #JuneSolstice, also known as the #SummerSolstice, marking the longest day of the year in the #NorthernHemisphere.

Even though we've already experienced the #Texas heat, happy *official* first day of #Summer! ☀️🥵 How are you enjoying the first day of Summer? #LBJ cooled off during Texas summers by spending time in his pool at the #LBJRanch. 🏊‍♂️
