April 2017 in 22 photos






Hei ja kiitos kommenteistanne edellisiin postauksiini!

Räntää sataa taivaan täydeltä, kun kirjoitan tätä. Näillä kuvilla sanotaan "hei hei" pian päättyvälle huhtikuulle ja toivotetaan tervetulleeksi oikein lämmin ja ihana toukokuu. :)























Cut branches in a vase




Colomba di Pasqua ("Easter Dove") is a traditional Italian Easter cake.












New gardening gloves :)












This photo is cheating: the new socks are hanging on the line just for photographic purposes. :)












Tämä kuva on lavastettu: sukat on ripustettu narulle vain kuvausta varten. :)
















The most faithful friends: Ribes glandulosum...




... and Lupinus.


Thank you for your comments on my previous posts! As you may have noticed from the watermarks, in the last two posts the photos were not mine but by other members of our family. They often take photos with a mobile phone... of very interesting subjects. I naturally let the photographers know you liked their photos. :)

Have a great day!

  2. Hej Sara!

    Nu är väl våren på gång även hos dig. Räntää sataa - ett så talande uttryck på finska, man riktigt känner hur kallt och vått det är.

    Ett stort beröm för ekorren som du fångat mitt i ett hopp!

    Kram!

  10. Näitten kuvien mukaan huhtikuu on ollut täynnä kaikkea ihanaa ja värikästä - ja kuitenkin odotamme kovasti sen kuluvan ja tuovan mukanaan vielä ihanamman toukokuun! Leppoisaa keskiviikkoa huhtikuun muistoissa!

    1. Kiitos, Anne!
      Sungold-kirsikkatomaattia. Nämä ovat hätävarataimia, joita säilytän ikkunalla. Isoimmat on jo siirretty kasvihuoneeseen.
      Mukavaa torstaipäivää! :)

  14. Wonderful series for April, Sara! I love your new socks! I think maybe the little squirrel might take a pair if you leave them out on the line!!
    Best wishes for many more lovely spring moments!

  16. Hello, dear Sara! You put a smile on my face for all day with this lovely post. :-) It is so good to see, that spring is slowly coming closer to you as well. (Also despite of the snowfall :D) I love those photos of little signs of the spring. :-) Your new gloves, and the little shovel are really pretty. Those lively coloured socks can surely brighten the grey mornings… at least a little bit. :-) Thank you for these beautiful pictures! I love them all!
    I hope you have a delightful week, hugs!

  20. Sarah, I just love your creativity with your camera. The squirrel, new shoots, socks, snow and bows all bring a smile to my face. Thank you. I don't think I could dirty the gardening gloves and trowel if they were mine. Just gorgeous.

  25. A group of fun photos and I love the colourful socks on the line! I think you got my gardening gloves by mistake Sara - purple ones! Be still my heart. lol
    So nice to see you having buds break and flowers emerging from the soil - can spring have arrived?

  28. Hello Sara! Of course, April as a Spring month was so unpredictable. Here, we had lots of rains and cloudy skies; only at the beginning it was so lovely and I enjoyed so much. In your series, the warm light, the speedy squirrel, the snow, the new buds, green leaves and :) (funny & pretty socks in various colors), colors for the delight of soul, are so well mixed to let us make the whole frame of the calendaristic month of April. Gorgeous macro shots of new plants...
    And many thanks for the amazing photos of your friends, as well; I remembered, while reading your words, about those pics from Prague. (i'm not sure when I'll see this city
    again, but for sure virtually I can 'travel' this way.)
    Best regards to you! And a very sunny month of Spring in May with lots of beautiful moments!

  29. Such a lovely selection of different photographs here.
    I've just bought some new socks but they are not as colourful looking as yours!

    Take Care

    All the best Jan
