Värikollaasi 118

I thought I would not find these colors at all…

Yesterday when walking I saw this flower holder built on this house – I took a photo reference so my husband could build me one.

Well at least I can dream that he will 🙂 So lucky me – I think the colors are in this 🙂

Lets Be Wild – Spring!

I’m participating in the online adventure travel and photography magazine LetsBeWild.com’s Wild Weekly Photo Challenge for bloggersThis week’s Challenge is: Spring!

These are the colors of spring… yellow, green and white. Impatiently waiting for them.

This morning the temperature was -21C, so no spring for us yet.

The first signs are  dandelions popping up, the new light green of  the grass and the whiteness of cow parsley growing by the sidewalks

Nature – Black and White

I’m participating in the onlineadventure travel and photography magazine LetsBeWild.com’s Wild Weekly Photo Challenge for bloggers

This week’s Challenge is: Black and White!

I find that when photographing nature in  black and white has to have good shadows and light all in balance, also I find that  graphic shapes come out looking best. Tree trunks, roads, flowers with graphic shape…here are some of my shots.

LetsBeWild.com – Green!

I’m participating in the online adventure travel and photography magazine LetsBeWild.com’s Wild Weekly Photo Challenge for bloggersThis week’s Challenge is: Green!

Finland is Europe’s most heavily-forested country. Forests take over 74.2% of the land area.

There are about twenty indigenous tree species growing in Finland, the most common ones being pine, spruce  and birch ). Usually two or three tree species dominate a forest.

Naturally pure pine stands are found in rocky terrain, on top of arid eskers and on pine swamps. Natural spruce stands are found on richer soil. Birch is commonly found as an admixture, but it can occasionally form pure birch stands.

About half of the forest land area consists of mixed stands. Rarer species are found mostly as solitary trees. The south-western corner and the south coast of Finland are touched by a narrow zone growing oak, maple, ash and elm.

Flowers whisper “Beauty!” to the world, even as they fade, wilt, fall.  ~Dr. SunWolf,

I will be the gladdest thing
Under the sun!

And not pick one.
