Promise of spring

Snow is disappearing fast. There is some left in the forests, but the open fields are soon bare, and catching the spring sunshine. Today was a warm day, +7 °C, and we got a lot of sunshine. A good day to be outside walking.

This has been a busy week. Renovations at home, a multitude of things happening at work. Haven't had much time for photography. But in any case, here are two photographs taken today.

As a sidenote, Dpr published their in-depth review of the Canon S90. Not unexpected results. I'll pass and continue using my LX3. But yet, I'm looking at the micro 4/3 cameras with interest.

We went for a walk to the shore of the Luukki lake today, and afterwards we grilled some sausages in a wood cabin nearby. Although it was mostly clouded today, it was quite nice to be outside, and at least it wasn't raining. There are more and more signs of spring around, although it will take some time for the snow to completely disappear.
