Pine cone in it all glory. Once again I was amazed by the nature and its colors.

I have no idea what this is, it is so tiny I hardly saw it, fortunately I did. I did not notice how lovely it was until I unloaded my pictures.

The miracle of sunshine. The new life grows from smallest of cracks. This birch tree is trying to grow from our yard fence.

What a difference a day makes, beautiful, sunny day and the nature blooms. Loving it! Not sure these can be categorized as macro’s but close-ups still.

A yellow crocus emerged to give color to my still very brown garden, though there is lots of moss to give the nature a green boost. Still waiting for the grass to grow.

After the rain had stopped I went looking for signs of spring. Looking for macro shots or at least close-ups. The catkins were so nicely covered with droplets so I took this to be my first May there topic. Happy May first to all and regards from rainy Finland.
MAY 1
It has been raining and cloudy most of the of the weekend, it had been raining all day and it cleared for the night. I took this opportunity to go for a misty evening walk. It was half past ten when I shot these night photos. I do like these lighter nights, the beautiful blues just before it gets dark and this night the mist that enhanced the view.

April is coming to end and there are some signs of the spring reaching us here in the north. As May takes over I will be posting macro shots of nature. That’s were I will be able to witness it first in details. This weekend I noticed three flowers popping up… it is a beginning.

This morning while driving to work I witnessed a beautiful sunrise in the mist. I so wished that I was taking photos some where other than a moving car through dirty car windows. but what can you do, one needs to work. So my apologies for the quality of the photos, but considering the way I took them I am rather pleased .

Still have to wait some time before the boat can be taken out.

Today in Helsinki we saw an unusual sight in Hernesaari, a small seal was on the shore. There were lots of people gathered around it. Looking and wondering and taking lots of pictures of it. I hope this little thing is able to reunite with it’s mother (dam?) when the people are not there. I just heard that people got too close to it, even petted it, so the firefighters ended up taking it to Korkeasaari a zoo in Helsinki.
Happy Easter!
