The first view down to the lake from the cottage
From the porch
The sauna
Lanterns
We had matching cars.
Nordic walking squirrels
Flowers and trees
In the front there are two aspens. On the left behind the aspens are two (or is it the same one) pine trees. The leaves in the bottom right corner are leaves of a rowan.
A hut (and the outhouse). The door handles made of driftwood and the lace in the door windows remind me of so many places.
The dock, the owl, the boat and the (alive) duck
Another hut. Either the hut is on a slant or the trees are growing crooked.
Satu, me and Marie at the dock after our morning swim. Qian's picture.
Qian and the owl. Look how pretty she is, Qian I mean. Marie took the picture with Qian's camera.
Kai carrying water to the sauna.
We took a lot of pictures of this spider web beside the steps to the sauna with Marie. It was a full circle and pretty cool when the sun was shining on it in the mornings.
Karoline in the morning.
Before the morning coffee.
After the morning coffee. (Actually this was taken before the other one, but it's way more fun this way.)
I was trying to get Satu smile showing her teeth. Didn't succeed this time.
Sleepy?
Happy!
At the porch. Marie's picture.
The Finnish portrait. Except for Karoline. Qian's picture.
The skylight with a pine tree.
Don't they look Finnish? Kevin with the mug and Ka with the milk carton.
Daniel explaining the card game called Asshole. Marie's picture.
Marie's picture.
Daniel and Jana explaining the rules of Asshole.
"It's a really fun game!"
Pekka and Kai enjoying the sun at the porch.
Somebody was taking a picture of Kai and Pekka and saying that this is going to go to the next seminar talk flyer and they weren't happy about it so I came to rescue since nobody wants me being funny in the background. And now nobody can say that I just post funny pictures of everybody else and only pretty ones of me. This is Maries picture.
Birches
Happiness
These are aspens (or trembling aspens?). They are still my favourite trees.
These guys were ordered to smile in this picture. Kevin would only give me the finnish face.
Marie at the dock.
Saara going crazy. Marie's picture.
The finnish faces. Marie's picture.
More finnish faces. Although Tony the Tiger isn't participating. I think I took the picture with Marie's camera.
Monkeys. Don't aks me why. Marie's picture.
They are not faking the finnish faces here, it's genuine. But look at Tony the Tiger again! :)
Daniel and his funny dance.
I was trying to catch the waterlilies flapping in the wind, but didn't really succeed.
The owl and the boat. The owl was very photogenic.
Reeds in the sunlight.
Summer
Summer, the stormy version
The sauna door handle
Sauna curtains
Sauna curtains, detail
Me making apple pie. Marie's picture.
Playing cards.
They are having fun.
What's up with the stare?
Summer happiness. Karoline's face is overexposed, but I just thought that it's such a perfect picture of summer holiday.
In the evening
It's not quite straight, but I like the water and the reeds.
The Mökki in the evening.
"Take the picture quickly, we hate each other!" Qian's picture.
The last day. These guys were happy: being very useful grilling they could talk math uninterrupted.
Kai and Jana
Satu
Through the window
The clock. We were leaving at four.
Did the picture turn out good?
Qian
Playing Mölkky
Daniel
Jana
Kai the Master
Daniel again. The blur on the right side is my finger, sorry.
Marie
Saara doing a funny dance before throwing. Marie must have taken the picture.
Saara. Marie must have taken the picture.
The last lunch.
