Getting hotter

Today the day is already one minute shorter than it was on Monday, at 18 hours 58 minutes. So it goes towards Autumn. But temperature is rising, today we will have about 21 °C, tomorrow 23 °C, which is good.

But it is forecasted rain for Midsummer day, when we have a traditional and very popular vacation day in Finland. Typically you grill meat (and even more typically sausages) and vegetables in the garden, and have a nice time - typically there is rain also, or at least it is all too often so.

There are more and more summer flowers appearing. A time to browse the plant guides and try to identify those whose names have been forgotten since last summer.

I am envying your weather, Juhaa: Here in Bavarai in was only 18°C with no hopes for improvement. This year I wasn't even once in our swimming lake, Thumsee.

Your work with the square format turns out better and better. You have really gotten the feeling for this aspect ratio.

Well, we have had a bit warmer, but it seems to cool a bit.

The square is starting to be familiar, but very slow progress.
