Where calmness is present, so too is the color blue. In addition to its peacefulness, blue also offers direction and empathy.

Something I noticed #22
Gates are not so common nowadays, so it was something noticed. A white gate with an inviting path.
Something I noticed #6
Weather, something I notice everyday and at this moment listened to, and it appealed to me. Listen, listen to the falling rain…
Very mundane, still so pleasing. This song often comes to mind when listening to rain.
Listen to it pour,
And with every drop of rain
You know I love you more
Let it rain all night long
Let my love for you grow strong,
As long as we’re together
Who cares about the weather?
Listen to the falling rain
Listen to it pour
And with every drop of rain,
I can hear you call,
Call my name right out loud,
I can hear above the clouds
And I’m here among the puddles
You and I together huddle.
Listen to the falling rain,
Listen to it rain.

I had two weeks of holiday rather unexpectedly, but I did enjoy them truly and am now back to my normal routine. I will be posting random posts with a title Something I noticed. it can be flower, a landscape, person, still life you name it. I am making it easy on myself not having to come up with a title.
Hope you enjoy my ranbom shots, life is pieced together from random experiences, so my next month is filled with small bits of joy or pleasurable sights.
Apples are fresh and ripe or not.. I think it is so nice to see my grandson get fresh apples from the tree, like the one in the first photo. The collage photos are from an apple orchard we visited on a cloudy day the single on shots from an apple tree in front of our house.
The wonder s of water lilies
I annually visit Mustio castle. I love the beautiful park and the dock that is surrounded by water lilies. I have yet to unload my camera disk, these I took with with my mobile.
New fence
We had a fence here before and if you have been following my posts for some time you have seen several shots showing it.
We had to take it down as the foundation was not the best and it started to lean towards and backwards. We did not have anything there for couple summers, but now it is there again with a slightly different twist in the design that I came up with as we were building it. Well, mainly my husband, I won’t be able to take credit for that 😁
Hay time
Watching others work. It is that time of the year when hay is being gathered from the fields, this summer earlier than usual
I was not expecting to have a summer holiday this year, but suddenly I found out that I could have two weeks. So hip hurray, I am on vacation 😊
And the river flows
Heartleaf oxeye
Telekia speciosa , attracts day butterflies (nettle butterfly), honeybees and beetles as you can see and as we have to keep them safe so we will have flowers etc in the future too, this is a great flowers addition to the garden.
Morning
Good morning 😃, I woke early to start my work so I can finish up early too. Sitting on my patio working at same time watching this light play on the lawn.
What magic light can do is amazing, you just have to catch the moment
Night sky
The night sky was so colorful
Daisy
“The splendor of the rose and the whiteness of the lily do not rob the little violet of it’s scent nor the daisy of its simple charm. If every tiny flower wanted to be a rose, spring would lose its loveliness.” – Therese of Lisieux
In our case, summer would lost its charm as daisies bloom in the summer 🙂 here in Finland
Dark clouds
Sky is such a wonder to watch, the colors, clouds in constant change. In Finland we sure don’t have blue skies for ever. when we drive I spend most of the time watching clouds, anyone else who does that?
Ray of light
I caught the last rays of light in two backlit shot. as they made a lovely background for some weed shots 🙂 and what a difference it makes when I took it from the side…a bokeh
spreading bellflower
wild berries
We are now enjoying the wild strawberries – Fragaria vesca. So many names 🙂Fragaria vesca, commonly called wild strawberry, woodland strawberry, Alpine strawberry, Carpathian strawberry, European strawberry, or fraisier des bois, is a perennial herbaceous plant in the rose family that grows naturally throughout much of the Northern Hemisphere, and that produces edible fruits.
Vaccinium myrtillus or European blueberry is a species of shrub with edible fruit of blue color, commonly called “bilberry“, “blaeberry”, “wimberry”, “whortleberry”. It has much in common with the American blueberry. It is more precisely called common bilberry or blue whortleberry, to distinguish it from other . Regional names include blaeberry (Scotland), urts or hurts (Cornwall & Devon), hurtleberry,huckleberry, myrtleberry, wimberry, whinberry, winberry, blueberry, and fraughan.
Once again so many names 🙂
