To satisfy a lifelong curiosity

The photographs were taken at Meiko on October 20th.

I commuted by bicycle today. The snow has melted away, but in many places there is lots of gravel on top of asphalt. So far this year I have got 5,929 km riding the bicycle.

Here is a piece of a second

These photographs were taken at lake Vitträsk and lake Meiko on October 16th.

I'm looking forward to the weekend. The knee is starting to be much better, so a long walk might be feasible. The length of day is now 7 h 41 min, which is still rather nice, even though darkness is starting to dominate.

He longs for verse, but must speak in prose

Here is a tale of two new lakes, visited on Tuesday (lake Vitträsk in Meiko) and on Wednesday (lake Väärä-Musta in Vaakkoi), with some blue anemones in between.

Vaakkoi was a new place to visit, I walked there for 1 1/2 hours with my daughter, and there is plenty of things to explore in the future. Also, south of Vaakkoi, on the other side of the road, are some places which I think are worth exploring. And several new lakes within a walking distance to be checked out...

The progress of spring is remarkable. Next week we'll be getting temperatures approaching 20 °C, if the weather forecast is to be believed. And I'm a hopeful believer.
