Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

During the weekend the first signs of approaching spring were visible, I saw a blackbird and even some melting snow. Not this week though, we'll be hovering around -10C. Daylength passed ten hours last Friday, and the effect of the snow and the returning light is blinding. Sunglasses are a must, even if the sunscreen will remain in the cupboard for a few months more.

In the photo is the lower kitchen garden in the summer of 2003. That year I used it mostly for annual flowers. This is the view from my hammock. Please ignore the lovely weeds growing in the foreground and the background :)

Ollapa kesä. Tämä kuva on selvästi otettu joskus Juhannuksen holleilla, todisteena oikealla näkyvä ruusunoksa. Sinänsä kuva on oiva esimerkki siitä, miksi yleensä käytän yksityiskohtakuvia, näkymäkuvista tulee pienennettyinä suttuisen oloisia. Ja rikkaruohotkin näkyy :)
