Wild Flowers

Wild flowers

Even more than I like like those big and colorful garden flowers I like those that grow wild in the nature. Wild flowers are often a bit more simple and modest and sometimes you have to look very carefully for just to find them hiding in bushes.
But I like the natural beauty in them, telling about sensitivity and toughness on the same time.

Minä tunnustan pitäväni puutarhakukkia enemmän vaatimattomammista luonnon kukkasista ja -kasveista. Ne eivät useinkaan ole niin mahtavia ja silmäänpistäviä kuin istutetut puutarhakasvit, mutta niissä onkin jotain hienovaraisen kaunista.

Minulla oli ystävä mukanani

kuka piileksii piharatamon lehden takana?

White-tailed Deer

White-tailed deer

As I was driving along the way to our summer villa in the archipelago of Finland I met this beautiful creature standing on a field. I guess he found me rather harmless sitting in my car because he decided to stay and study me for a while.

Ajaessani mökkitietä Turunmaan saaristossa tapasin tämän kauniin olennon, valkohäntäkauriin. Se taisi todeta minut varsin harmittomaksi jäädessään tutkimaan minua ja tilannetta hetkeksi.

It also had a friend that was more of a shy type.
