And Summer Solstice is getting closer. I hate to see that happen, because the days shorten. It's the difference between travelling hopefully and arriving. I wait all winter for long days...with sun!

I want it to last and last.

A Crack in the Foundation

Taken on a lovely day in May 2010. This was part of the foundation of an old house located on the overgrown remains of a former street car line. I love that the property owner tore down the house but paid homage to it by leaving behind a small reminder for future generations to see.

Spinning Wheels in the Snow

Spinning wheels in the snow takes on a whole new meaning with this picture.

From the archives: That is my great grandmother, Kaisa, in front. Her daughter Fanni follows her.

The photo was taken in Finland around 1930.
