This felt like the first day of spring…even saw for the firat time year ants and coltsfoot.

This is one clear sign of spring, the wood anemones are in bloom in the woods. The sight of them certainly makes me smile.

Once again it is time to take few photos that suggest that spring is here. These I found in the ditch behind our house…lovely thats what they are  – every year I am suprised of the loveliness..

Walking around and looking down…taking photos on the ground. Do I not have anything better to do?
These are from my visit to my summer place this year.

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.
