Today is the Finnish Independence Day. We’re 101 years old!
As is our custom, I’m lighting two candles.
(In case you’re interested, here are my thoughts on the 100th anniversary.)

Happy Thanksgiving!
After Hours, Random BeautyFor the U.S.: Happy Thanksgiving!
I’m completely off (not even a peek at social media) for a few days to enjoy family time. I’ll resume posting next week.
Stay safe.
Random Beauty: New Hampshire Mountain Views
Geek out!, Random BeautyLast month, Husband and I carved time for a mini-getaway to visit the White Mountains of New Hampshire.
The mountain views were amazing! Here’s Crawford Notch valley seen from the summit of Mt. Willard.
And, of course, what rings in my mind is “Mountains, Gandalf!” 😀
Random Beauty: Wild Bramble Blossoms
Random BeautyThe wild brambles hereabouts start blossoming at the end of May and continue into June.
Understated and yet so pretty.
Random Beauty: Wood Anemones
Random BeautyI happened upon a patch of anemones in the woods last year:
This year they’re back. 🙂 I think they’re wood anemones (Anemone quinquefolia). The dash of pink is charming!
Random Beauty: An April Sunset
Random BeautyRediscovered a stunning sunset in my photo feed:
Wow.
Next time I’ll try to focus the camera on the sky, not the branches. 🙂
Random Beauty: Sunset over Icy Pond
My Spaces, Random BeautyAs chilly as March can sometimes be here in Massachusetts, it can also be really beautiful.
I love the look of frosty, deep winter, even if my ever-so-slowly-aging body might be happier with the current thaw. 🙂
Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year
After Hours, Random Beauty
May your 2018 be rich with the things that matter and your days with the people you love.
Stay safe.
Random Beauty: Bright Sun and Icy Branches
Random BeautyThe other day I was thinking of last December. I went through some photos to remind myself of everything that happened and ran into this gem. At the very end of last year, we were treated to gorgeous, glittering woods after snowfall:
It was really hard to get the light and shadow balanced well; this is one of my better shots, I think, in that respect. The light on the icy trees is so beautiful!
Happy Thanksgiving!
After Hours, Random BeautyFor the U.S.: Happy Thanksgiving! Hopefully the weather will be fine for the holiday.
Here is a half of a November halo from a year or two ago seen through a car window. Beautiful and fascinating, isn’t it?
I’m taking a few days completely off of social media and will resume posting next week.
Stay safe.
