Hah! I had never read/heard this quote, hence, I laughed out loud. ?

It doesn’t always have be icicles to make wintry trees look pretty. Depending on the weather the snowfall can create quite nice tree art too.

Not much, but finally there’s some.

lunta, Lunta, LUNTA!

The 5-yo is feeling just fine now. That is, he hasn't had any symptoms for over 24 hours. Yay! That was quick. Now we just hope that we others didn't catch it.

Well, there is an industrial complex right from the frame of that photo. But apart from that it is very nice. On the left you can see frozen sea, and behind the industrial complex there is a nice bird spotting lake/pond.

I'm not fully satisfied with it, but it's nice. If I had had more time to take it, it could have been even better.

It is, though it isn't even close to what it could be. Add some snow (hopefully today) and it will be awesome.

I snapped that photo from the upstairs of our home, so one could say so. ?

I was downstairs installing a curtain when noticed that the sun was setting and the resulting view with clear sky was damn nice. My phone was upstairs, so I had to run there and haste to take the photo. Few minutes later the sun was already below the horizon.

Phew! That was close. Almost missed this.

The rest of Finland is not sharing their massive amounts of snow with us on the Southern coast, it's about time we get some. But I believe those people in Kainuu would love to send some of theirs to you. They have plenty.
