A Change is Gonna Come

Purring patient

Oh no, such an irritating collar!
Her face tells it all. She's planning her revenge, obviously. Poor Pilli - wishing her well.

Awakenings II

Weekly Macro: Letters, words

Once upon a time... where the story begins.

Weekly Macro's topic is kirjain, sana / letter, word. My handwriting looked like this in second grade at elementary school, more than 30 years ago. I really loved story-writing.

B&W Monday: Brand

B&W Monday's theme is entitled merkki which has a number of meanings such as a brand, in this case. For me a bike is also a sign that the spring's finally here.

Awakenings

Photo Thursday: Madness

Photo Thursday's topic is hulluus, madness. This one needs no explanation.

Weekly Macro: Centre

Weekly macro's theme is keskiö, centre. This delicate seed head is from last summer.

B&W Monday: Angular

Kulmikas, angular, is a topic for B&W Monday. 

I travelled to a city of skyscrapers... built of drill bits. The soundscape was angular too.

Weekly Macro: Ball

Weekly Macro's topic is simply and inspiringly pallo, a ball. This is not exactly a ball but a shuttlecock (sulkapallo in Finnish). The base is round, though.

Precious

This beautiful piece of furniture came from my grandparents' house which was later my uncle's home. The house and the farm is still - and luckily so - going to be the family property. It's been that since my great-great-great-grandparents.

The cupboard's history continues now in our place. I'm not going to restore it as I want to see the marks of life it holds. It just needs some cleaning and to be hung on the wall. The colour is light green but here's some "rusty" pictures...

B&W Monday: Work

Vacuuming the mosque carpet.
B&W Monday's topic is on this day off is työ, work.

Back at late grandma's place

Weekly Macro: Hole

Weekly macro's topic is reikä, a hole. Here's a close-up of a grater (raastinrauta).
