This thread reminds me - I took some photos late this spring I was supposed to show around... Well, better late than never! They're nothing too special, but I like some of them.

So, first the 'glass series'




The rest:

And some from the Aulanko park:


You know, puddles (though that's not exactly one) are amongst my favorite things to photograph. It's a bit of a measure of a photographer, in my opinion, puddle-pictures I mean, first of all you need to have a good eye to realize the photo opportunities in them, and secondly you need at least some skill to take the picture so that it looks good (I'm not saying I always succeed). Of course, I tend to not have the camera with me when I see the best puddles

Anyways, here are some other pictures in similar vein:

All these were taken when the snow had almost, but not quite in some places, melted, and certain chunks of ice caused one part to flood etcetera. It caused all sorts interesting phenomena, most that I couldn't photograph, unfortunately.

Anyways, just a few more:

And another (larger scale):

And a detail of the rocks (with moss - I like this one):

There, sorry if it was too much
