god morgon världen



ute är höstsvalt. det känns nästan som en lättnad att slippa stranden för ett par dagar även om jag hoppas vi får många sköna dagar på stranden ännu i sommar. vi tar en lugn morgon inomhus och njuter av det.



only 12 degrees outside. not exactly beach weather. we're enjoying a slow morning indoors.

drawing challenge: monster



i never was afraid of the dark, of monsters hiding in closets or under the bed. i didn't believe in monsters. now i know they are everywhere. one goes by the name cancer. they told us this week mum's liver is inoperable.


Julia is hosting the challenge this week. check her blog for more monsters.

det är något med övergivna hus som fascinerar mig. på postinkastet står 'brev', inga räkningar här inte, tack.

(to Ariane)

Ariane wondered about the light so I took these pics last night, every half hour starting at 22.40 (last pic taken at 01.40). it doesn't get any darker than this around midsummer in Finland. and if you look closely you can even see a rainbow at 23.10

midsommardagen trollade fram sommarvädret igen och vi har njutit.


summer returned after a week of somewhat 12 degrees celsius. and here's something on finnish midsummer celebrating. AND i'm taking pics of the daylight tonight, posting tomorrow, so do come back..

midsommarhelg








planerna var midsommar i skärgården med närmaste släkten. men vi blev sjuka och stannar i stan. hela 12 grader och grått blåsväder. men vad gör det när det finns mat i kylskåpet och disneykanalerna på TV. det kommer andra dagar. hoppas ni har en skön midsommar.



we were going to spend midsummer in the archipelago with my family, but we got sick and have to stay in town. oh well, there will be other days. have a great midsummer. and see you soon in this week's challenge: body.
