... croci part 2

I was walking about and taking pictures, again. I started the round walking towards Pakkala, but finally I ended up at Pitkäkoski, which lies near Vantaanjoki river. The brown water undulated so beautifully it made me think about dreams.
I also made a poem (though I don´t find myself too good at it):

The ground is beautiful
with its bareness
Crocuses, they
zig-zagged, criss-crossed
met and didn´t
Yellow, blue and white
the only camouflage 
earth has

Theme music: Kevät by Pariisin kevät (Kevät=Spring). Naturally. Unfortunately it is not on youtube.

... croci

Spring is here and delicate, shy sprouts bud everywhere. I had a day off today and I was walking about and listening to the birds sing, it was stunning. I thought it would be nice to take some pictures, which I did, even though I still haven´t got my birthday present camera (which I´ve heard is stuck somewhere in the East) and had to settle for my old matchbox-sized gadget. Here are some of the photos I took.

Tussilago farfara - the ugliest phrase I´ve heard for a while XDD

I noticed the butterfly only after I had taken the photo :)

 I love the dreary roadsides of Vantaanlaakso.

Sticks on asphalt

Crocuses - croci - crocuses. I love to swagger with Latin plural forms.

 

Snow has not yet entirely melted...

Wood anemones have only just vegetated

... Easter glee

Happy and blessed Easter to everyone! I  know, I´m a bit late, but I have allowed myself to take it easy on Easter holiday. I have been visiting my family - I have now moved to Helsinki to dance - and I am so thrilled by the coming spring! In Helsinki, in the middle of the urban landskape, you can´t really notice melting ice and altered light as sharply as amongst the leafless trees and muddy ground.

Kaisla with our flegmatic cat Nefernefernefer (name by the character in Sinuhe the Egyptian)

My friend Kaisla visited Vesivehmaa with me, and one day of our holiday we noticed that we were wearing odd colthes (we were going to supermarket, our pathetic holiday amusement), so we organised a "fashion" photo shoot with random stuff: cat, my wig, accessories from my garderob, cattle shed and Musti... Crazy (but not cool). Hope you like :D

We changed coats. I gave Kaisla my fake fur pink coat, and got this perfect parka from H&M.

jacket: Kaisla´s old

earring: H&M

necklace: dived

stockings: H&M, ring: self made

 I got these l-o-v-e-l-y 70s platform shoes in a vintage swap that was organised with the vintage cars happening by our neighbour. I was astonished when I tried them and they fitted! I have foot sized 40 (or 9 in US), so very few vintage shoes fit me.

I don´t smoke, but I´d liked to, for the coolness

my ring: Gina Tricot

my shoes:second hand, UFF

Weird picture. I like it.

60s shirt and skirt: tuned second hand

I have to show off: The 60s outfit costed only one euro in a flea market. I just cutted the hem of the skirt and and shortened the top to create a crop top effect.

Neffi is the silliest and cutest cat I know. And the most flegmatic.

Foolish series with my hand approaching...

 These last photos were a little bit Virgin Suicides, but luckily in a positive way. Maybe it was Musti that saved them  from artifice.
