May – Macro#1
After the rain had stopped I went looking for signs of spring. Looking for macro shots or at least close-ups. The catkins were so nicely covered with droplets so I took this to be my first May there topic. Happy May first to all and regards from rainy Finland.
Happy Easter!

Notice that the stiffest tree is most easily cracked, while willow survives by bending with the wind.

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.
