Nesting of the swan
As we walked around the island, we came across this swan nesting her eggs. We made sure we did not go too close as they might leave the nest if you go too near the nest.
The female swan nests alone. The male is guarding the nest or is eating somewhere further away. The female rarely leaves the eggs during this month’s nesting time. So it’s virtually not eating of for four weeks. Even when the female leaves for a small distance to get something from the edible from the bottom of the sea it covers its eggs so they do not cool too much.
WPC Evanescent
PHOTO CHALLENGE Evanescent was a new word to me, as I am not a native English speaker, ev·a·nes·cent [evəˈnes(ə)nt] Soon passing out of sight, memory, or existence; quickly fading or disappearing.
When I was a kid, when taking car trips, we would try to spot cows on the side of the road. Pass the time counting them… Well it is not a sight you see to often now a days, at least were I live. These are from near my summer place, countryside. Even there you do not see cows that often. And seeing them, it does bring memories of day less hectic and fast paced.
the path we take
Walking in the primeval forest in Linlo Island in Kirkkonummi. The path we take leads us to very varied nature types. Here are few that we walked.

The underground tombs, many of which date back to the 4th century BC, are carved out of solid rock, and are thought to have been the burial sites of Paphitic aristocrats and high officials up to the third century AD.
