winter is beautiful

 

 

  

 

 

 

Little guests had visited our mini garden.

A brown city hare, and someone a bit bigger one,

perhaps a fox?

Everything is yet asleep and silent,

 but the promise of spring is in the air,

every day and everywhere.

The snow has arrived yesterday.

Lasten kaupunki

 

Lasten kaupunki (Sederholmin talo) was opened to the general public one week ago.

Really a great place & worth visiting with children. 

The entrance is free also.

Evening walk

Moonlit evening, silver clear
and the night’s blue billows,
sparkling waves, numberless,
follow one another.
Shadows fall along the path,
on the shore the bushes softly weep,
black giants guard its silver in their keep.

(Edith Södergran: Nocturne)

Friday

It is November,
and for everything there is a season.
I pack the last bits and pieces of summer into boxes and jars.

I am happy because it's Friday.

past meets present, present meets future

There are moments when one has to return to places where past meets present and the present meets future. Today meets yesterday when places full of memories are being revisited. Only the change is present, there are so many things that have changed and will change. So many stories that could be told.

These landscapes have changed and so have I. But the sun was shining and bright, just as it has been a decade ago. Co-creating Cable Factory with Legos was absolutely amazing, I also liked 24hours+ Taipei.  When the day turned towards evening, we bought the very last ice creams of summer and took the tram towards home.
