Finding Joy in Everyday Wonders

Captures from Finland, Nature, Photography

Once again as I sit in my living room and watch the sun light up the leaves, casting a warm golden hue upon them, it brings immense joy to look at these short moments of beauty that give me joy. Not much is needed, if you take the time to see the little wonders that happen around you, like the gentle rustle of the leaves in the breeze or the light causing the background to appear like colorful balls dancing in the air. These simple experiences are treasures, offering moments wonder into our everyday lives, reminding us to cherish each fleeting moment.

one new beginning

The arrival of a new season brings with it the promise of fresh beginnings and sun-filled days. As I eagerly anticipate the arrival of spring, it’s the perfect time to share this photo taken a few years ago. The minimalist aesthetic of the image and how the bokeh in the background adds an ethereal quality. It serves as a timeless reminder of the beauty found in simplicity, and the art of capturing fleeting moments in time.

We are of to celebrate May 1st to our summer house. It is supposed to be sunny, but cold, well colder than usual at this time of the year. At least it won’t be raining. Wishing all a great weekend and the the beginning of May…

I love moss, it is so pretty, green and soft.

Brown tones

Brown the color that has grown on me over the years, from boring to cosy and warm. Homey( is this a word? )

I am self-isolating at my summer house and once again documenting the spring miracles that brighten our minds and spirits every year. The light is so strong up-lifter of the mood. We have lots of light now and I am so happy about it, as I am about the new green, beginnings of summer.

It almost feels like autumn, but no, its early July. I am happy with the bokeh I captured.

Bokeh delight

This flower gives me joy every summer, I love how the light filters through the leaves of the bush in the afternoon sun. I love the colorful bokeh the leaves create.

Yep! December…Maybe I should return to my regular way of posting, no words! I usually do not have much to say and I like to be under the illusion that the photos speak for themselves. Here is a frozen cone from my backyard. The setting sun gave the background a beautiful bokeh. I have edited the images trying to find the best look for the the frame. Which one works the best in your opinion, if any?
