Movement!

I’m participating in LetsBeWild.com’s Wild Weekly Photo Challenge. This week’s Challenge is: Movement!

I haven’t had time to  photograph lately, but I went thru my archives to find some movement… fish school – riptide – people at sea – kite surfer – waterfall.

We do not have mountains in Finland, more like arctic hills. So mypictures of  mountains have been shot in Sri Lanka near the tea country – in Kegalle.

Valokuvatorstai: TOIVO – HOPE

Toivo - Heijastus

Sielunpeilin on mahdotonta heijastaa mitään, mikä ei ole sen edessä.

Tyyni järvi ei voi kuvastaa syvyydessään vuorta, puuta tai pilveä, elleivät ne ole aivan lähellä.

Valo ei voi luoda maahan esineen varjoa, ellei esinettä ole olemassa.
Mitään ei voi nähdä, kuulla tai muuten aistia, ellei sitä ole olemassa.

 Kahlil Gibran

Tie kohti toivoa

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
