Happy October! 🖤 Internet tells me this might've been a wood pigeon tail feather.
Fallen leaves and a feather on the ground, shot from above, my shoes and coat hem visible in the picture.

A walk by a pretty Finnish lake.
A nice serene view of rowing boats resting on the shore of a lake. Blue skies, puffy clouds, and a few birch trees.

My recent knitting projects. Just finished the lilac pair of woolly socks last night. It's going to be a gift. 💜
Three pairs of freshly knitted woolly socks. Solid colour: pink, grey, and lilac. They are lying flat on the wooden floor.

Autumn vibes. Got a heather for the balcony. (No matter that it's +22C today in Finland.)
A lovely bright-coloured pot of heather on a small glass balcony table and some green plans on a shelf in the background.

My dying money tree is plumping up and has made new baby leaves!
A closeup of a money tree house plant. It has lost a lot of leaves along its stalk but a pair of new small ones can be seen growing too.

New yarn supplies for multiple projects. Probably severals pairs of woolly socks & learning to crochet ANYthing. 💕
A photo of brand new yarn supplies laid on a table and shot from above. Three big skeins of pink, greenish, and warm yellow yarn. Small skeins of white, hot pink, rose, warm yellow purple, and white yarn. Sock needles and a few KnitPro crochet hooks to the side.

A few photos from my favourite park today. Saw some geese, ducks, grebes, mergansers. It always astonishes me how lovely and quiet it is there.
A few barnacle geese on grass by the lake. Blue skies and some trees in the background. Bright pink purple phlox in bloom. Birches and a few benches in the background. A gravel path leads to a circular area of sectional flowerbeds and herbs.

Walked around a lovely Finnish lake. Saw two swans!
A serene view of a summer lake from the shore with a birch and reeds in the foreground. Blue skies full of fluffy clouds. Forest and sky reflected like a mirror on a lake.

Visited a farm today. My favourite is always the sheep because you get to walk into their field and cuddle them.
A headshot of a light-coloured sheep looking at the camera with a red farm building in the background. A hand stroking the cheek of a light and brown sheep. A light-coloured lamb relaxing in the shade with its front legs folded underneath itself.

Went to the museum of pretty rocks today.
A museum display of rocks under glass. Pink and turquoise stones in various shapes. Raw, egg-shaped, slice, polished and tumbled and a few necklaces. Striking green malachites and stone animals, a necklace, raw and polished stone chunks. Several large stone specimens on clear pedestals at a mineral museum.

Fallen rhododendron petals at the park.
The ground is covered by pale pinl-white rhododendron petals. The plants' bare trunks and branches stand tall among them.

Got noisy babies in both my birdhouses. Great tits in one and tree sparrows in the other. Today I got a sight of a very hungry beak. ♥️

Excuse the mushy picture, taken all the way from my window.
A close-up of a an adult tree sparrow that has landed just under the round hole of a birdhouse. A big pink-yellow beak of a baby bird is sticking out from the hole.

Checked out a new-to-me forest path today and it turned out to be very good. Just birdsong, quiet, and trees.
A wide path through a dense spruce and pine forest. Pines and moss-covered rocks. Blue sky, fluffy clouds, and some undergrowth and trees but this shot is outside a forest. One bare trunk stands tall to the right.

Look who stopped by in the garden, enticed by the sudden green grass buffet.
A very cute hare sitting in the grass.
