Tiny flowers
I found these tiny, tiny flowers as I looked closely to the ground during my stay at the summer house. Always a joy to capture the nature’s tiny wonders
Buttercups
as you can guess, we spent the weekend in the countryside 🙂 This summer has been so odd, all the flowers bloomed so early, at the same time and seemed that the lasted such a short while. Here are shots of buttercups.
Midsummer
The light is lovely, air soft and warm with humidity high, that’s what midsummer has been this year. We usually don’t get long hot spells, this time yes. Last night I went out after midnight and captured mist over the fields with the setting sun giving a beautiful pastel glow to the sky.
Rose
We call this rose juhannus ruusu, a midsummer rose. This summer it has bloomed beautifully. Happy Sunday!
Dandelions
Every year I take these, every year I share them, and every time they are little bit different. Color or black and white?
One of my fav views
No words really needed, summer 💚
So happy
What a difference a day makes. We got touch of summer today, the joy of it 😊. We took a short walk at Kloppen Marina. You could see the new green taking over the brown.
Office
Small joy is this too, my office has a new paint and I placed the furniture differently and my space looks different which’s nice. Veikka has moved in with me, taken over the armchair I got for myself. I am rather pleased with the result. The only thing new is the paint and the new area rug. There he lays sleeping and snoring while I write this post. I notice the photos ain’t that great as I just quickly took them with my mobile. I am just lazy.
Up on the hill
Back home, enjoying the view of the pine trees from my backyard, they look nice in the early evening light
Good night
First evening at our summer house, here I am sitting by the fire, now I can see the last moments of the sunset. This photo I took hour ago.
Clean and tidy
One day spent cleaning and tidying the summer house. First floor is now ready for the next visit.
Coffee moment
I asked my husband to get something tasty to go with coffee. This is what I got, laskiaispulla. A bun with whipped cream and strawberry jam. Aah , so tasty 😋
Dreaming of
Six years old
The dreaded photographer’s block. I,ve had it. I have it now, sort of, As one is mostly at home.
You sit on your couch, you look at your beautiful gear, and you just don’t feel it. You can’t think of anything worth shooting. Nothing takes you.
It’s frustrating as hell. An empty feeling.
At this i take a look at archives and edit old photos that I have discarded previously, with my new found editing skills I am able to breathe new life to them. Maybe this will get me going.
Mostly I have taken photos of my grandchildren, when they let me.
Hyvää juhannusta ! / happy midsummer!
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.
Summer time
Time to enjoy and relax
Looking out the window
Sitting in the cafe and watching people in the street
Waiting
Waiting in the car and killing time taking pictures
Moss in February light
I love the green moss and the back light of February coming from behind it.
Art work
I have been working on my sculpture project this weekend, working with dark clay is so easier for me. This my work in progress on this one
Colorful tunnel
The tunnel to the railway station was always dirty, full of graffiti, dark and dingy. Nowadays it is colorful, bright and no one has yet done any graffiti art or scribble there which is a nice surprise
Sunset
Beauty, majestic nature. Just beautiful, sunset at sequoia. All unedited photos 😀.
Good morning
Last view from our room to the mountains lit by the morning light 
Odd light
Last day at the pool, this afternoon light caught my attention
