Wednesday around the World – hair

It was a cold day here in Finland, but I had to step outside in spite of it. ( Kirkkonummi today, kind a cold. No wish to go out, but … I have to.
Clear skies: -14C Temperature+ windfactor: -23C Sunrise at: 08:58 Sun down: 16:09)

As you know ladies these are the big decisions, I had my hair done today. Last time I went back to being more blond , well now I took the opposite direction.

As I am having trouble falling a sleep – joy is a good night sleep or a refreshing nap during the day. Also it is a joy to watch a child fast a sleep

A WORD A WEEK CHALLENGE – Silhouette

I have thousands of pictures like most of us, but it was kind of hard to find silhouettes from  them. And if I was smart I would only post one, but as I did find few  – I am going to share more that a few ( I know its three) So I’ll have few titles – people, boats, trees

Trees  at the top, Ships and boats below
