285 Silver and Gold / Silver och Guld / Hopeaa ja kultaa

Beautiful old with
Silver and Gold
They've done an amazing job on this car. The gold roof and seating is fabulous and the top coat of paint or lacquer seems to have a dash of gold in it too.

341 of 365 Two / Två / Kaksi

The first two I've found this spring.
I hope there to be many more till Mothers Day so that I can pick some to my Grandma E

132 of 365 Growing / Växande / Kasvava

As I was working in the garden I found an amazing colorful little thing growing under some leaves. Spring is here - the rhubarb is on it's way growing into something delicious!
The leaves provide a great shelter for many a small thing living in our gardens.

356 of 365 What Am I ? / Vad är jag? / Mikä minä olen?

A colorful monster?
Something dangerous?
Or disgusting?
What is it that I found in the garden?

218 of 365 Out to Lunch / Ut på lunch / Lounaalla

There was quite a buzz under my grandma's apple tree during lunch time...

273 of 365 Seeds / Frön / Siemenet

I surprised myself by finding seeds in this shot,
the spring fashion of bees.
I never thought I'd managed to get a fashion shot like this,
I know it's pollen, but...

358 of 365 What's Inside? / Vad finns där inne?

Is there anything inside this one?
A hard days work
to bee or not to bee...

PhotoHunt - Protection

It's important to think about protection when working in different conditions.
Also noice can be too much

And this is all together different kind of protection
but it has noice involved in it too.

This must be the queen sitting on top of her castle
And how high... I just have to show you. I'm quite pleased with these pictures.

These fasteners hold together bits of the old stone wall
of Turku Castle

Springcolors / Vårfärger - Grandma's Garden

It doesn't look too bright when one looks at the view as such.
Especially around this three at my Grandma's garden, that I showed before.
But when one starts looking around, there are some colorful glimpses of spring present

Reds and greens and browns...
I think the brown nuances in the next shot are just perfect,
old meets new so smoothly

Purple and white with a bit of orange

and with a little bit of green too

and maybe a bit of white and yellow

or a bit more red and brown

Surprise, surprise - a bit of blue!

And totally beautifully green

And some grey shades can really bring out any colors.

The side gate to The Court of Appeal of Turku

A better picture of the house can be found here, where there is also a link in English to the Finnish judicial system. Another picture here.
The roof of this gate is very beautiful.

I like stripes and see several repeating patterns here.
Do you see them?

235 of 365 Places of Worship

Marttilan kirkko - the curch in Marttila, Finland
This is the parish third church and it is built in 1765.
The parish, Parrochia sancti Martini, is mentioned for the first time in late 1300 Finnish church books, but then there was only a small, probably catholic, chapel near this place.

260 of 365 Rest In Peace

I visited the churchyard in Marttila, Finland this week and remembered this theme. This is no relative of mine, but I find these old crosses so beautiful with all their ornaments. Unfortunately there aren't too many of them left anymore. And on this one there's also a psalm mentioned, which I haven't seen on any others. I wonder if it's because this cross is for a young boy.
May he still rest in peace.

258 of 365 Relaxation

Cats are masters of relaxation.
I thought my senior Therapist to be the perfect example of this
when relaxing and enjoying the sunshine.
I'm sure he was thinking about the cold wind blowing outside
and how lucky he is to have this special spot just for him.
