Takana/ Behind
What can I say, these are close – ups of something behind. I took the challenge literally… the fly agaric is behind grass
one of the pine cones is behind the others,,, why am I explaining these?
this table setting is behind the window…yes I know this is not a close-up..I could do with a glass of wine…

Heinola bird garden
Heinola bird garden was established in 1963. Heinola Town Supervisor, Anthony Bosley donated a variety of parrots to the city, and the bird nursery started. Over the years the business has expanded. Bird nursery’s mission is to take care of injured wild birds and return them to back to the nature after recovery. About 300 birds have been treated so far, but the number of lives all the time. The annual number of treated birds is approximately 200 – 250 individuals, of which about 30-40% can be returned back to the wild.
The main causes of injuries are, traffic, power lines and various types of large glass surfaces. These birds that wont survive in the wild, but are able to live independently at the shelter, remain in the nursery. . Many species, such as owls are difficult to spot in the wild
Here are few pictures I was able to take there,,,

I usually do not take photos of food – few times I’ve tried – here is one of my attempts to do so.
What do you think?
Colors – Red and Green
The topic was color, my first thought was flowers so colorful and vibrant, Instead I chose buildings with color…but they are not macro,so no they are out, these are kind of macro photos of apples and berries

Weekly Photo Challenge – Different Point of View
I took photos of this old wooden barn – I have not taken one single shot of the whole building, but the parts that are about to be destroyed by time.
I do not once again know if this a different point of view… of what. But it is beautiful in its ugliness.

water
I was taking photos of water last week – in the rain. My attempts – well, OK. Today as I went thru them again I noticed that I was laughed at by a water ghost.
I have not altered this image – only added a bit contrast. Funny isn’t it?
