Spring has finally arrived to us here in Kirkkonummi, Finland. Yesterday in the garden, I saw the crocuses were in bloom and spotted the first wood anemone’s in the forest.
The catkins were still in going strong – and there was still some ice in the ditch by the road.
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.

I had hard time today finding turquoise things – but afternoon shadows helped. Here are also some pictures of a beautiful turquoise sea…
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.

it is a piece of heaven – when we have blue skies, “warm” winter weather -2C, no wind…

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
