Spread like a chart my little wicked ways

This morning I walked in Vaakkoi forests and swamps for over two hours. It was +14 °C when I started walking, and +19 °C when I returned. Surprisingly there we not many mosquitoes, perhaps due to wind and sunshine.

These photographs were taken in Nuuksio on July 18th, north of lake Myllyjärvi.

To meet your gaze as you go past

There is one week of vacation left, and lots of things to do. I have had plenty of time for various activities during the vacation, getting 10-15 hours exercise each week. And I have read over 50 books.

These photographs were taken on July 16th in Luukki, near lake Kaitalampi.

Of a web in which some thought is caught

This morning I walked for 2 1/2 hours in the north parts of Nuuksio, south of lake Saarijärvi. There were still some cloudberries left, and lots of blueberries.
