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

^ who is hiding behind the leaf of the Greater Plantain ?
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.

Jump!

Summer Fun

Splash!! 

This is what summer holidays are about - having fun and spending time with family and friends.

Without having to worry about timetables and early get_ups.

Oh, still 10 months to next summer vacation - but actually that's also ok,
let's enjoy colours of coming Autumn and snow of Winter first :)

Parasta kesässä; rento yhdessäolo perheen, ystävien ja lähimmäisten kanssa.
Rauhalliset aamut ja päivät ilman aikatauluja.

Marmalade Hoverfly

Summer and the insects.

Not one without the other. 

 May I present Marmalade Hoverfly to you. 

These guys were funny, they were not afraid for me at all - they just sat there :)
