Having a little nature excursion nearby.😊 Interesting places, for example, in the so called cave were some Finns hiding in the past.... Not a very pleasant hiding place, I think.🤔 We find also a quite big and old spruce. I wonder what all has the tree seen....

The first ones of this year!! Traditionally on Saturday before the Whitsunday (helluntai) was the time, when we Finns made the first "vasta", a bunch of birch branches. So, this is the time and we made those too. When (soon) the sauna has warmed up enough, we'll have these two with us and "vastoa". You know what, the feeling afterwards is so relaxed! Peace of mind!

Oh, these calming lakes in Finland, in the middle of nowhere! Just listen! Only the birds! Can you imagine to be here, having a peaceful moment, maybe a hammock or some fishing equipments or both with you? Some little snacks, maybe coffee.... Just sitting and resting in wilderness. Well, with us you can also have this experience.😊

Our forefathers used to think the ants nests was the castles of gnomes... I wonder, if this nest was watching us while we were having a May day picnic...🤔😊

Had a walk with my dog and what did we see! A goshawk just sitting there on the snow! It didn't care about us at all and for some time we watched each other. Me and my dog continued our walk and let the goshawk to enjoy the evening sun in peace.
