Welcome to Villa Emilia (My Woodland Garden), a photography blog with a slant towards gardening and nature. An amateur gardener and photographer, I hope to share beautiful moments with you through pictures. Let me know if you like them! 💚
What can be better than some chocolate roses in cold spring day. Nice yellow rose, Sara. Love your picture of sky, clouds with rain or snow... Spring is coming!
Fantastic photographs, especially the clouds and the snow! I hope the chocolates were delicious, they certainly look it! Have a lovely weekend! Barbara xx
What a lovely week Sara. Amazing scenery -- it looks like a perfect time of year where you live. And the chocolates certainly add to a beautiful life in every way!!!
I was excited to see the lake thawing and then the ominous clouds appeared. I love this shot of them. With spring buds, delicious chocolates and a perfect yellow rose, I think your week finished on a high.
Exquisite images from Finland Sara. It looks like you've had more snow flurries. The choccies would stay long in the box if I was nearby, ha ha! They look like special ones too! Happy weekend to you too Sara. Shane
I am enjoying scrolling through your gorgeous photos of the weekend AND then I get to the chocolates, I pause scroll up and down and laugh.... yes I may be a chocolate addict and this is the best way to get my chocolate fix!!! Have a happy, happy weekend Sara and send me more chocolates! Wren x
Oh chocolate! Also love the clouds and the rose though! Am so happy you gave suggestions for the bird house, because you said the birds need to feel safe -I think that's the issue! There are a few very aggressive squirrels around, and a few loud blue Jays and crows! It's almost Sunday, so a gentle reminder for SEASONS - link up Sunday-Wednesday Have a great week ahead -please take it easy, blogging needs to be fun)
Love that first shot of the ice leaving the lake. Beautiful :) And I'm impressed that you got above the clouds! Were you on a mountain top or in a plane? Spring is arriving to you at long last. We spent lots of time outdoors today with a warm sun encouraging little buds to come out ... another week like this and we may see some blossoms. Wendy
Thank you all for your lovely comments! My photos don't do justice to the beauty of nature, but I hope they can at least a little bit convey the happiness we feel seeing the signs of the emerging spring.
Oh, those mouthwatering rose chocolates... !
VastaaPoistaEn uskalla katsoa ruususuklaitten kuvaa uudestaan,
muuten on pakko lähteä ostamaan suklaarasia :D
Beautiful photos, Sara - love the shot of the snowfall. Enjoy your chocolates! xx Karen
VastaaPoistaRuususuklaata, kyllä maistuis ♥ Silmut vievät ihan hurmoksiin... Kaunista viikonloppua Sara!
VastaaPoistaStunning photographs. Those chocolates look delicious. Have a good weekend. B x
VastaaPoistaBeautiful :-)
VastaaPoistaKauniita keväisiä kuvia;-) Onko jäät lähteneet jo järvestä? Täällä on vielä jäätä isoilla järvillä.
VastaaPoistaKiitos, Anne! :)
PoistaKuva on muutaman kilometrin päässä sijaitsevan pienen "kosken" yläpuolelta. Meidän kapea lahtemme on vielä kokonaan jäässä.
What a lovely selection. I specially like the frosty photo.
VastaaPoistaFive lovely photos of your week. Have a great weekend:)
VastaaPoistaIhanaa viikonloppua sinullekin! Fantastisia, kauniita kuvia. Miten voi olla noin kauniita suklaatejakin olemassa.
VastaaPoistaWonderful photos, you have a real talent for photography.
VastaaPoistaKauniit pilvet ja lumikuuro! Onko mahdollista, että pikkuherukka on jo kehittänyt noin muhkeat silmut - upeaa?!
VastaaPoistaKiitos, Pirkko!
PoistaPikkuherukka on tosiaan talvenkestävä ja avaa reippaasti silmujaan aivan ensimmäisenä, ihana kasvi. :)
Love your photos, the scenery reminds me a little of the Scottish Highlands. I hope those chocolates were nice. x
VastaaPoistaYour photos are so crisp and clear, love them x
VastaaPoistaLove the clouds! And that chocolate looks SO delicious! Gorgeous blooms! Have a beautiful weekend dearest Sara!

VastaaPoistaWith spring buds, delicious chocolates and a perfect yellow rose, I think your week finished on a high.
I love the color of the rose. Do you happen to know its name? In English, please.
VastaaPoistaThank you, Patsy!
PoistaUnfortunately I don't have any information about the plant. The colour is lovely indeed.
Aivan ihania kuvia. Näkyy olevan järvessä vielä jäitä. Nuo mahtavat silmut - wow! Mukavaa viikonloppua!
VastaaPoistaExquisite images from Finland Sara.
VastaaPoistaIt looks like you've had more snow flurries.

Starting to look like spring finally for you too Sara. The chocolates were a teaser photo, weren't they? You know we all want to have chocolate now!
