This forest, hill behind our home is an easy place to escape to nature. We can see it from our house and watch the season change. At the moment I am waiting for the green to push through and brighten this place. I do like that there is so much evergreens here. Moss, pine trees, spruce. it is forest therapy just steps away. Happy Easter everyone, stay safe and take care.
Kollaasi 224 (12/2020)! this weeks shades of colors are found from amethyst. Found a spelling mistake in my collage, but no problem, I often have them. Just letting you know I noticed it too but am too lazy to fix it .
isn’t it one of the first signs of spring when snwdrops bloom in March. Today I spotted these in my garden. I did play around with the lightning to get different effects.
It is so weird, it is supposed to be heart of winter and our nature is at least two months ahead. We have all the signs of spring here. I took a walk outside, no rain but a beautiful sunny day to capture oddness of this winter.
A pick of random photos from our trip. Trying to cut the stream of sea view photos with this post.
Beauty, majestic nature. Just beautiful, sunset at sequoia. All unedited photos 😀.
I have been busy. I took up sculpture and painting again. Also planning our next trip. So I have not been active taking photos. Fall is here again so one for the road. Monday we are flying to LA and Las Vegas. I’m sure I will post some pictures taken with my mobile phone. 
The autumn 🍂 is here if you take a look at the colors in the garden 
the lungs of the earth. Love them,it is also the totpic on CFFC this week.
I certainly hope that some of these shots turned inspiring, I lost a pair of my favorite sunglasses into the rapids. I have found a post from some time back that I forgot to post
Out time at summer cottage continues in warm and sunny weather. I love way this view change. These are taken in the afternoon , evening and night time the last on I took just now. The color and atmosphere is captivating at all times.
It was a quiet evening at the country side. I took a walk on an deserted road, no one but me and my cameras. These I took with my mobile.
It almost feels like autumn, but no, its early July. I am happy with the bokeh I captured.
I had great visit to a cottage to see relatives visiting from Australia. 
I found this old photo, liked it, re-posted it. I love how the near by building and surrounding trees reflects the colors on the river.
Midsummer celebrations are over and we are now officially losing light, but not to worry there is still plenty of it. Today I went to near grove woods and lakeside in Vols to take some photos of the beautiful greens we are surrounded with this time of the year.
Leopard’s bane / Kevätvuohenjuuri
The apple tree flowers together with cherry tree flowers together make a lovely pair.
An other color and BW combo of wood sorrel. Which one works better?
I love this moment of the year, the nature is waking up ( me too, by the way 🙂 ) and all the small details and greenery plus the the light. Yes!! I am over the moon, once again I survived the dark winter.
Here are some wood sorrel that raised its head at my summer house.
A lovely blue moment
