Summer…
It really starts to feel like it is going to be summer soon... There is really warm now outside, sun shines and it is getting so green when I look around.
A month ago, in the end of April my work in the university ended, once again. At that time I was told that there might be some more work to do, but like it is easy to guess, I haven't heard nothing since... So I had to try to find something else to do in the summer. I was quite certain that I fould not find anything for a summer because it was already May and all summerjobs are usually already assigned quite early. But for my big surprise Nokia was still searching for a few summer trainees and I actually applied for a one job. But for my even bigger surprise, I was selected to come to interview for that job... And even bigger surprise was when I was notified that I got that job!
So, now in the Monday morning I will take a bus (actually two, but details...) to Hervanta and start working there... I am not quite sure still what actually my job will be but I am quite sure that I will have interesting times ahead.
Jogging
I always start jogging in the spring. I don't why but for some reason I just had to go out and start jogging. But, again for some reason, I'll just leave it during the spring and in the begin of summer I just go jogging very rarely. This year hasn't been exception.
But today I got again inspiration to go jogging and it was nice again. I really should make it a regular habit, it was fun and I think that I should do something else than just bicycle to university and back. And specially now when studies (and working there) has ended I only go there now and then.
Kinda funny thing is that jogging is another way for me to organise my thoughts. In the spring I also wanted to go for a jog when I had too many thoughts in my mind. It isn't exactly the same thing when I go to think in the nature but it is almost as good as wondering in the middle of the forest or looking the sunset on the lake. There is something therapeutical when you try to think too big thoughts and try to jog or run at the same time. And the good thing is that when you get too tired from jogging, you just can't think too much, you are just too tired to think too much. 
Well, I had fun with my jog but I still have too many thoughts in my mind that I really need to solve at some point. But luckily I have one wonder less now, finally I know what I am going to do in the summer. One though down, about a million left...
Smells
I went today to local Arboretum to take some nice photos from plants and overall from the place. And of course because it is always nice to walk in the nature, or in this case, in the park. In the park there was a small cape where lead a path. And what was waiting for me in the cape... There was few huge trees of European Bird Cherry and that smell... I always forget during summer and winter how Bird Cherry smells but every time in this time of year I remember, it is so strong smell that it just can't be missed. And luckily it is a good smell.
I have always liked to walk in the nature and in the park, specially in the middle of nowhere, in the real nature has always been a relaxing affect on me. And it is the best place to just to think about everything, for some reason I just manage to put my thoughts in the right perspective while I am in the nature, specially when I am near a lake. Well, it is just relaxing. And this time was no exception, I had in the morning feeling that I had again just too many thoughts and worries in my mind and I just had to left o photograph and walk in the park. And it was a little help, no, I didn't miraculously solved all my problems and worries but I managed to get something in to order.
New toys…
A little update about my dear hobby, photographing. In April I came across a little bit too good offer and in the result I bought a new camera, Canon EOS 5D. And now I have been playing with it for over a month and I just like it. It is just a great camera, and so much better than my previous body, EOS 350D, naturally. And specially in the macro shootings, I like when I can see something through finder.
And in Thursday I finally managed to upgrade my tele-zoom lens. I should have been upgrading it a long time ago, but luckily I haven't, because a friend was selling his Sigma 70-200/2.8 lens and I got it with a nice price. And with Sigma's 2x extender. And I have to admit this also, that is a wonderful lens also. Now I finally have a good tele that I can actually use to take some photos. And in Friday I got a really good reason why I bought this lens, the photo in this post, I don't think that I could have managed to take that with any other lens (that I currently have).
