Summer evening

I drove to the lake to take photos of a swan family, but they were not there, so I’ve added a photo my son took the night before. We are enjoying beautiful weather in Finland at the moment, but we must take all the joy from now, as you never know when it ends.

Landscapes from Ruuhijärvi

Yesterday was according to the weather forecast the last warm day(+24C) for a while. In the evening in turned grey, and today the temperature is only +6C andskies are grey, looks rainy. Not too happy about that. Summer does look great at this time of the year here in Southern Finland.
