I'm still posting photographs taken on Saturday Sunday at Luukki near lake Myllyjärvi. And it is good that they the photographs from weekend last, as I haven't had much time to look at any of the newer photographs. Tomorrow I'll be traveling, so it is uncertain whether I'll be able to post. Well, maybe I'll prepare yet another posting from the photographs from Saturday Sunday to appear tomorrow. (Addendum: I got confused about when I took these photographs, I'm just too busy right now...)

Art pointed out a new camera, the Panasonic LF1, which borrows from the earlier LX7. However, for me the deal-breaker is the wide end of the lens, which is 28 mm (equiv.) instead of 24 mm as in the LX5 and LX7. But otherwise the LF1 seems to be competent, though focusing on somewhat different kind of needs than LX3/LX5/LX7.

I'm still posting photographs I took on Saturday at Tremanskärr. Here you see the flooding in forests, where rain and melting snow have gathered in puddles waiting for the ground to thaw to allow the water to seep away.

These photographs were taken on Saturday at Tremanskärr, at the swamp and at lake Kurkijärvi. It was a fine day to explore the changes wrought by spring.

I commuted by bicycle today. It took 44 minutes to get to work, and 43 minutes to get back home. It usually takes longer for the return part, because I'm more tired at the end of day, but today I needed to be at home earlier, and thus I pedaled faster than usual. And it felt good to ride the bicycle. In fact, even though I got home on time, I didn't get too tired. Practice helps.
