Harvinainen vieras. An Unusual Guest.
Sometimes a colourfull European Goldfinch visits our feeding place.
Silloin tällöin värikäs tikli poikkeaa ruokintapaikallamme.
Kaamos. The Polar Night.
The Polar Night started in the northern parts of Finland, north from the Arctic Circle. The sun is below the horizon until 16.1.2017, when the sun will rise for the first time above the horizon. The Finnish word for this dark period is kaamos, pronounced in English [‘ka:mos].
Marraskuussa. In November.
During the dark days in November we miss the light nights of Midsummer. This photo is taken about 11.00 pm.
Marraskuun pimeinä päivinä kaipaamme keskikesän valoisia öitä. Kuva on otettu noin klo 23.00.
Kyyhkyset. Pigeons.
Sataa. It is raining.
Lumi on kadonnut. Snow has disappeared.
This photo is taken today at noon and the photo below almost in a same place 11.11.2016, a week ago. It started rain yesterday morning and it still continues. All the snow has disappered.
Yläpuolella oleva kuva on otettu tänään. Alla oleva kuva viikko sitten melkein samassa kohdassa. Eilen aamulla alkanut sade jatkuu edelleen. Kaikki lumi on sulanut.
Grass is green like in summertime. Ruoho vihertää kuin kesällä.
Nälkäisiä vieraita. Hungry Guests.

These days are made for sleeping…
The weather is warming, the snow is melting away. Heavy clouds are just above the roof. We have not seen the sun for days. Here is now everlasting twilight. Daytime is about six hours, from 9 am till 3 pm. Lights are needed inside all the time. We are sleepy, nothing else is so important, just sleeping.
Mikä tämä on? What is this?
Some days ago I was looking photos in my phone. This photo, taken last summer, spooked me. My husband was picking blueberries, I took the photo, and I didn´t see anything special. Now looking at the photo I saw this creature behind him and I do not understand what it is.
Muutama päivä sitten katselin valokuvia puhelimessa. Tämä kuva, otettu viime kesänä, pelästytti minut. Mieheni noukki mustikoita ja minä otin kuvan enkä huomannut mitään erikoista. Nyt kuvaa katsoessa näin tuon otuksen hänen takanaan enkä ymmärrä mikä se on.

1) The word ” Rantasalot” is the plural form of our family name. Behind the blog is three persons, my husband, me and our cat Kosmo.
