Hyvää juhannusta
































Hyvää juhannusta kaikille, riktig härlig midsommar:)

Today is midsummer celebration weekend in Finland and Sweden. It is the celebration for light and beauty of midsummer  (except it is raining and dark right now:)
We have light here in Espoo 19 hours and in northern Finland like in Utsjoki the sun doesn't go down at all until 28.7.

    So hard to imagine light for 19 hours as for us, on the other side of the world, right now, it is dark at 5pm and the sun won't rise again till 7am. We really are opposites!

    Love the daisy on your hand - such a simply perfect little flower.

    Trevlig midsommar! (även om det regnar :P)

    Aww, your photos remind me of my home country, even though I'm not from so far up in the north. And sometimes I am homesick. Ugh. :-)

    Absolutely stunning photos you've shared. I would have to have window covers that shut out ALL the light of nighttime to be able to sleep.

    My post for today: Fact or Fiction...you decide.

    Thanks for the visit Wednesday...your comments are always treasured!

    Lovely first shot Henrietta. It must be so very strange when the sun does not go down at all. But I have a feeling I'd be out all night with my camera :-)

    Every single one of these shots are fantastic! I think the photo of the bug is my favorite. What a pretty burst of yellow, he has. :)

    Beautiful images, Henrietta! I've been photographing my daisies, but I'm not capturing the detail that you do! The bug looks rather dangerous. ;-)

    Hi Henrietta!
    I am arriving in Finland on Sunday! I am so excited but also nervous! But really ready for so many hours of daylight! That's great!!!
    I just created a new blog to journal all my stay in Finland. If you are curious, you could find it on my blogger profile "Aiketa's Travels".

    Love the first pic. Awesome!

    Daisy for sure, you are so vibrant my lady. You have all of us on pins and needles to see your flowers each day. Do you ever sleep?

    Shasta Daisy's orginated by Luther Burbank in Santa Rosa, CA. I live just on the other side of this town, and have been to his gardens many times. It is a great place to stop by if anyone is this way. Lots of history, great photo opportunities. However you Henrietta have the market on photos of flowers!
