Good morning to everybody. How are we all today? Ready for the spring that has just started? Or autumn if you happen to live in Australia (cool greetings to there DearJ đź’™)... Sometimes people say there is no spring in Finland. But there do is. How is that possible if the snow is there all the time? I show you.
Above is a pic taken on the winter time in February. The sea is frozen but the sun can be seen. It is just setting here. The light is blue and it is freezing cold with a promise of warmth.
Usually you don't see this kind of pic about the snowy arctic world. It is after a storm. Storm is needed to start the process; to change the winds, the world and season.
This is what you usually see on winter pics. But can you see the trenches from small spruce to right. They are old (from 40's) but still there; covered by the snow now.
Look at the pic carefully, for sure you can notice them. Snow can hide many things.
Do you see it better now? On the left?
TheBay! See, the light is gone, blue or white.
The Spring has turned in! The Sea is still frozen but the air has changed. It makes hares, squirrels and birds chase each others for some weird reason called
S ❤ P ❤ R ❤ I ❤ N ❤ G.
Still the wind may feel hard at open places like on the sea ice.
But in the forest the wind dies if it is not storm. Snow is still hiding something (Stones, I can tell you, from the ice age.)
The light is sometimes very hard and hurts your eyes. The snow doubles its amount so everyone should protect their eyes!
The arctic animals have their special ways to cope with the snow. One of them is to spread the toes. That makes the snow carry her better. She does it by instinct.
But if you are not sure is the nature showing you the spring or not, this is the certain mark about it. The mail brings the 1st mail order catalog of flowers! I had forgot I plant a new flower bed last August! I got very curious about it now but can not help the case at all; there's still 1 meter of snow over it!
