Even the most common birds here are timid and difficult to photograph. So I decided I needed to take extreme measures: I stuck our Christmas tree in the snow next to one of the living door windows and hung a suet ball on it. So far only the great tits have noticed the ball, but I hope to see other visitors there as well.
Joulukuusesta on iloa vielä helmikuussakin. Pystytin sen lumihankeen olohuoneen ikkunan eteen, ripustin oksalle talipallon ja sain vihdoinkin lähikuvia edes talitiaisesta. :)
Päivät ovat jo ihanasti pidempiä ja valoisampia. Aurinkoista loppuviikkoa!

'Do people call you the squirrel with the marvellous tail?' Moomintroll asked slowly.
'Of course', said the squirrel.

I wanted, partly jokingly, to end this post with a
Stay classy, friends!
Then I happened to read the definitions of 'classy' in the Urban Dictionary. One of them, by msladyinwhite, was so good that I wanted to copy it here:
"Classy is not about clothes, makeup, hairstyles, accessories. It is not about being posh, or wealthy.
A classy girl is kind, gentle, sweet, empathetic, caring. She is giving, loving... she is a good person. She is polite. She has good manners and is a very pleasant person to know. She is a good friend.
You can dress classy, you can stand, sit, and walk classy, but true class is on the inside. If you gossip and insult, if you're judgemental, if you're cruel and hateful and immature, you are not classy, no matter what clothes you pick out, where you got them from, no matter how much money you have, no matter how you sit at the dinner table, you are not classy. Respect yourself and respect others and you will be classy."
