Roses
It is mid October in Finland, it’s dark, cold and windy this time of the year. Usually the roses do not bloom, but I took photos of these roses in my garden this morning.

Sadunomainen / Fairy- tale
I had to think about this one. Two of the pictures not Macros but – something fairy-tale like is in them – or movie so I had to include them just for the topic
The main photo is as Macro as can be – it is a very close up of a lichen ( jäkälä) only thing I’ve done is enhanced the colors

Sunday Stills – Creepy Things
This was hard, I do not often photograph creepy things,
The first is a bird skull found at our summer-house, a bird somehow gotten into our roof and died trying to get out – creepy..
A small mouse or some other rodent , well creepy?… aah!
But as a women I have to say I do not find them delightful 🙂 I nearly stepped on this when working in the field, cute here, but when in the house

Takana/ Behind
What can I say, these are close – ups of something behind. I took the challenge literally… the fly agaric is behind grass
one of the pine cones is behind the others,,, why am I explaining these?
this table setting is behind the window…yes I know this is not a close-up..I could do with a glass of wine…

Cats in the nature
the wonderful colors of autumn
Heinola bird garden
Heinola bird garden was established in 1963. Heinola Town Supervisor, Anthony Bosley donated a variety of parrots to the city, and the bird nursery started. Over the years the business has expanded. Bird nursery’s mission is to take care of injured wild birds and return them to back to the nature after recovery. About 300 birds have been treated so far, but the number of lives all the time. The annual number of treated birds is approximately 200 – 250 individuals, of which about 30-40% can be returned back to the wild.
The main causes of injuries are, traffic, power lines and various types of large glass surfaces. These birds that wont survive in the wild, but are able to live independently at the shelter, remain in the nursery. . Many species, such as owls are difficult to spot in the wild
Here are few pictures I was able to take there,,,
Autumn colors
I took these photos during the weekend…beautiful colors. There was so much leaves falling down the trees, autumn is here for sure.
