Monochrome Madness (14)- coffee pot and milk cannister

This is my week 14 submission to the  Monochrome Madness Challenge hosted by Leanne Cole and Laura Macky. I took these to photograph something grey, but these also looked good in Black and White. So this and the fact that I have no access to my photo achieves at the moment are the reason for these photos. I was lazy, did not even clean the dust of them…

I took a walk at this small island, Linlo,  near by my home, it is so lovely there. I nearly got lost… Here are few shots from today from the first part of the walk.

Life of a dandelion

Past week the weather has been great here in southern Finland, I’ve spent my days outside. Sunshine and warm temperatures, what  a bliss. Today it has rained and I’ve been posting my pictures taken this past week. This weed is lovely ,it is summer, but a pain in the garden. Here is the story of dandelion – as I see it. From beginning to end.
