Butterflies

2017 is Finland´s 100 years celebration year. That's why we had a game to identify at least 100 butterflies this year. I´m satisfied with my 23 day time observations. Here you have some pictures of them taken on the courtyard of our summerplace, exept the Amiraali which lies on the concrete stairs in Roihuvuori and a Noname on the bank of the Missisippi river.

The Real People in Roihuvuori

This is the second version of my friends and neighbours. There are some new and some modified pictures. I have also deleted the Roihuvuori landscape pictures. There´s gonna be another article of them.

My Friend the Lizard

I´d like to present my new summerfriend to you. Sissi, the lizard didn´t like to pose untill you made friends with her. After that she showed me a few nice gestures. These photos are taken on the courtyard of our summerplace in Kouvola.

Roihuvuori Details

I am going to collect here sceneries of my home village. My objective is to take photos which don't look like postcards but please my eyes anyway. 24th Apr: I`ve walked around the willage for ten ours and took ca. 800 photos. These five are satisfactory enough in my mind.
