it was the end of summer

at Kajaani
the flowers in the garden were pretty
the day was already getting shorter

in forest

listened,
the trees were quietly humming 

one by one
i filled my bucket with berries

i felt so good,
it was so beautiful there

homeward

the storm passed by
and i was riding my bike

by bike

i liked this route better
though it would be a shorter way

to cycle through the town

strawberry field

a lovely evening
for picking berries

the other day

it was raining furiously

in a meadow

there was no rush at all

so i sat down,
enjoyed my coffee
and relaxed

Lake Höytiäinen, Häikänniemi

the day was warm
the water was cool

for a beach there are better ones
though I liked the quietness
and it was beautiful there

warm days

daydreaming
swimming

Koli National Park

it was so beautiful and perfect there
feeling so good and empowered

about koli national park

one day

picnicking
dancing, swimming
watching the setting sun

a sauna

feeling relaxed,
all of the sorrows
were washed away

long walks

the day was warm
and it was beautiful there

this morning

happy easter!

cladonia

a slow process

spinning
matching the handspun with commercial yarn
knitting

there was sunlight

enjoying
feeling
light

on the other side
they probably weren't that lucky

the nights are cool

the ice
strong enough
to walk on

imprinting

sunlight

so warm now

sparkling in the sun

warm days and cold nights
the ice was slippery to walk on

willow

old ones are strong and pretty
and it is growth what spring will bring

winter swimming

and sunbathing
water +2°C
air -2°C

4 times in cold water
4 times in sauna
..feeling just superb!

listening the ice

there was frost at night
and new ice was formed

in warm sunlight
the new ice was expanding
and the sounds it made
were magnificent
