Sunset at Key West

I’m back from my holiday, totally enjoyed the beautiful weather in Florida. We saw lots and lots of wonderful things, met lovely people and enjoyed time spent with friends. Holiday…already waiting forward to the next one.

Nature, birds, animals, butterflies …I have tons of pictures to go through. I will start with this one of a sunset in Key West – more of this will be coming your way.key-west-sunset-86

Lakeview

After my walk, first taking in the beautiful fall colors on the ” big”road,  to enter the small roads between spruce forest, I arrived to this lovely lake view. It was a glorious October morning, all quiet and still. This were my first shots as I came to my destination – a peaceful moment by the lake.

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.

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!

Sunday Stills, the next challenge: Yellow

I find yellow a challenge to photograph, mostly my yellows are  flowers. These are from my archives,  as yellow is not available in the nature at this time. Here are few OK  shots, in my humble opinion, at least they are yellow.
