Balance of life Balancing between studying, hobbies, sometimes work and life.

-15°C

Finally we have real winter weather, really cold weather. It is so nice after a year again feel freezing wind on your face, all problems when you are trying to take photos while wearing so much clothes that you just cannot handle camera properly... But it is always so worth of it, the photos are always just so amazing...

Definitely spring

dsc00678Since last post it has finally started to feel more and more like spring. Okey, yesterday it tried to snow a little bit but this time it was only trying to snow, just like it should do in spring :)

Streets are already dry and sun is starting to be really warm when it shines and it does a lot now. And finally, it has to be spring when yesterday I saw three porsches on streets and today one more.

Spring?

Snowfall at univeristyAt the moment weather here in Finland is a little bit weird, at least I feel so. Winter hasn't been so great, a little bit snow but there has been no really cold days at all. And now we are living March which I think as a quite spring month already. I think and like that in March the sun should shine and it should already be nice and warm but with snow still in the ground. But what we have in this year? Snowfall after snowfall. It has been snowing more than in the real winter (i.e. in January or February). It looks more winter than in January. Just weird...

Feeling like summer

Today was first really summer like day. There was a warm nice day, sun shined and it was a great day, and finally it started to feel like summer. We still don't have leaves on trees yet but I just guess it is only matter of days now until we will have a lots of green out there.
Today was also first time this year when I was having ice cream outside. So I guess that summer is here, at least ice cream summer has been opened :)

Spring in the air


Today I noticed that it starts to feel like it is spring soon. Roads are getting free from snow. Again yes, not first time this year, no but this time feels different. Now the sun is melting all the snow, roads are full of slush and it is simply sunny, warm, spring like weather now. And today I was feeling like it is spring. I actually had a tough time to decide if I go to take photos by walking or just go to bicycle first time this year (and no, I don't think that cycling to the work is cycling).
Second thing I noticed is that I have been taking too many photos from my neighborhood, I just seems to be hard to think something new and interesting out there. The nearby forest is boring, it is just too clean, simple and there is just nothing interesting for a photo. And it is really boring looking forest to take photos.
Maybe I just should cycle somewhere where is a little bit more interesting sceneries and stop to take photos there...

Snowy weather

Well, it decided that it is winter again. Yesterday we had almost none at all snow in the ground and today, it has been snowing all day. Now the snowing has ended but we have once again very winter-like weather.
This winter has been very weird, usually we have snow from late December to March but in this year we had few times a little bit of snow in the ground but almost every time it has been melted in the next few days. And so it will be this time also.
I would like to have cold weather and snow when it supposed to be winter but now, when it already started to promise a little bit of spring, it is too late now. No more snow, I would like to have a nice warm spring now already. And change my stubbed tires to normal tires. And take my better bicycle out from winter storage and start cycle more. And just enjoy nice warm spring days.

Winter or not winter

It snowed a little bit in the night and in the morning the ground was again nicely covered by snow. This has been interesting February, normally we have cold weather here in Finland, somedays even almost -20°C or colder but this year, coldest morning has been -10°C. And usually we have a lots of snow at this time of year, now almost nothing. On Monday roads were already drying, something that I don't remember seen often in February. Weather feels just like the weather is in the end of March, just a little bit less sunshine. And now it seems to be hard to decide is it winter or not, in the night it rains a little bit more snow and during the day it all melts away.
