I was sitting in my backyard watching the clouds gather into the intense blue gray color. I took these just before the thunderstorm was above us.The temperature dropped three degrees in just s short while…got to love Finnish summer and the amazing 17 C degrees of warmth.
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.
I will once again start documenting the seasons with this view.
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 
Wild horses…so beautiful
Paddy’s Creek in Talbingo in NSW was one of the spots my cousin took us, one we for sure would not have found on our own.
This greenness , lovely rolling hills, nature just blew my breath away
Sjundby river in winter. What a beautiful and photogenic place 
love the beaches…
Trying to find beauty in the wet and grey day. Droplets always work for me
Yesterday I jumped a day, today I went for moment of relaxation- a massage for my tense shoulders. On the way I spotted a one rose and rose hip.
