A wonderful shooting experience with friends Bore and Leppis in Kirkkonummi, today. Grass snakes in many colors including a complete black one were all around and they do not care of the photographers, almost not at all.

Yesterday we had big waves in Cape Town. Cormorants were flying along the coast. The pic is a combination of both!

I was missing these red and white flowers. Found today growing as large mats at roadside in Central-Eastern Finland.

This summer is busy over here in Finland. Wood cranesbills are flowering usually in midsummer in Central Finland, now they are two weeks early.

The nest looks pretty strongly built. Has been in use for many years.

Looks strange but I think he is measuring how far his back cast reaches.

Took some time to adjust the picture to look like it was in reality.. The key was to take highlights down to the bottom and shadows somewhat up in Lightroom. In the raw picture the sky was much more yellowish than it actually was.
