Rutto puisto (Plague park)

The old church is surrounded by a graveyard, they buried victims of the plague epidemic in 1710, that is the origin of the name Ruttopuisto (Plague Park), the 48 remaining grave stones are from 1790-1829.

This is a very popular park for picnics due to its location in the center of Helsinki.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Spring II

Spring surprises us, yesterday and today we have had showers of hail, and rain and sleet. Sun has also come out between all these variations of weather.
I took these photos 15 min ago, and now the sun is shining. The wonders of spring weather.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Spring

I have been doing nothing else than documenting spring past week, so I will continue to do so here also 🙂  Kids playing outside, not having to dress them in three layers, cats running free, nature blooming. All fresh and new!

Detox from the computer

I’ve spent six days at my summer-house, this time was spent with out a PC with me,  as I got a new one yesterday. Actually, it was good to be away from the net, and social media. I spent hours outside, taking photos, spending time with family and relaxing. I also got a new cat a week ago. Tinka is a lovely little kitty,12 weeks old, she is so sociable. I’ve also spent time getting her comfortable in her new home. No is time to get back to business :-). It is a wonder what you can discover from the nature when not in a hurry. Here are few of my discoveries of the wonders of spring and Tinka and Oliver
