Movement!

I’m participating in LetsBeWild.com’s Wild Weekly Photo Challenge. This week’s Challenge is: Movement!

I haven’t had time to  photograph lately, but I went thru my archives to find some movement… fish school – riptide – people at sea – kite surfer – waterfall.

Luxury

I participated once again in a challenge – to photograph luxury. This is what I came up with. A bubble bath – absolutely or silk, pearls… a luxury brand.

What is Luxury to you?

Spring in Kirkkonummi

tina´s wordless wednesday # 85

Spring has finally arrived to us here in Kirkkonummi, Finland. Yesterday  in the garden, I saw the crocuses were in bloom and  spotted the first wood anemone’s  in the forest.

The catkins were still in going strong – and there was still some ice in the ditch by the road.

Mountains

We do not have mountains in Finland, more like arctic hills. So mypictures of  mountains have been shot in Sri Lanka near the tea country – in Kegalle.
