Spring in Kirkkonummi

tina´s wordless wednesday # 85

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.

Mountains

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.
