Spring is here

in nature •  7 years ago 

This winter slow, warm and wet here in southern Finland. There was no or little of snow for a long time. Then we had snow and cold weather quite long time. In south we had also below -25 C temperatures.

After slow start winter kept going and spring has been late. Migratory birds came while it was snowing and lakes etc. were frozen. Then things started to change at fast pace. In one week there was huge change when warm weather came. In north there is still snow and "winter" even weather is warm during days. Here in south pretty much all snow is gone even some lakes are still covered by weak ice.

Here is couple of pictures showing how spring has defeated winter and is on way to become summer.

Hyviä lähikuvia. Taidan itsekin kokeilla muurahaisten kuvaamista, jos näen niitä jossain suurin joukoin.

Tuohon pesään paistoi aurinko suoraan saaden ne normaalia energisemmiksi. Tuli normaalia haastavammaksi saada kamera riittävän lähelle ilman, että kauhean monta tarrasi siihen kiinni. En tiedä kultaa muisto jälleen asioita, mutta mielestäni joskus aikanaan kävi paljon helpommin, kun edellisen kerran tuota koitti.
