Heippa!

Photography-wise, today was an active day for me. Although I did use most of it trying to edit the photos. 15 minutes here and 15 minutes there. Eventually I ended up doing most of the editing after reading to the boys. And again the post is going to be ready only after midnight.

I managed to shoot some photos though, here are few of them.

^{Cowslip (Primula veris)}

^{Red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris)}

^{Too fast! Slow down!}

He was a quick fellow, I almost failed to capture him, and the camera was a bit slow too.

Then there was this fellow:

^{Is he smiling?}

^{I guess it's just the cone that's so good.}

^{Almost pink (but somewhat underlit) liverwort (Anemone hepatica)}

^{A Liverwort and two thimbleweed (Anemone nemorosa)}

^{It was my first time meeting the European pied flycatcher (Ficedula hypoleuca)}

I hope we'll meet again! 😁

There's a nursery rhyme in Finnish that goes like this:

Kuu kiurusta kesään,
puolikuuta peipposesta,
västäräkistä vähäsen,
pääskysestä ei päivääkään!

_{Rough translation:
As the skylark arrives, it'll be one month 'til Summer, and half a month after chaffinch arrives, from pied wagtail just a few days, and after swallow there are none.}

^{The first white wagtail (Motacilla alba) we saw this Spring.}

Yep. That's all I have for you guys today, but wait... There's more...

The day before Yesterday I asked you guys what might be in the background of a photo of mine.

Here's the reveal!:

@Sheikh27 guessed it was a photo, although the subject wasn't quite the same, so I guess he'll get the 5 hive I promised to the closest guess. Congrats to @Sheikh27!

It was one of my first ever successful photos that I was happy for. It was taken about 7 years ago. Here's the photo itself:

I printed it with my old printer on an A4 paper and then I laminated the photo. It's a reminder for me, that even a lousy lens can deliver quite amazing photos.

What do we learn from this? No matter how poor your photographic equipment is, keep shooting and eventually you will start getting better and better photos! Keep a positive attitude about it, and you will prevail!

All the photos I shot today were taken with that same lens.

I hope you liked today's photos!

See you guys Tomorrow! 😎
