Evening walk in the woods nearby along the same old familiar trail. When you think there's nothing new there, just focus on the details. This mint green egg had fallen from a nest of a song trush. The yellow small fungi on the fallen birch trunk looked like tiny round breakfast rolls. The stone bramble berries shone like rubies and tasted sour. A woodpecker had stuck a bunch of fir cones to a tree stump. And finally, a touch of a human hand, a piece of forest art, a small painted ladybug stone #森林浴 #自然 #秋 #卵

Berries, red and orange, edible and just ornamental. Lingonberries, rosehips and lily-of-the-valley berries, which remind me of miniature jack-o-lanterns 🎃 For me, the late autumn afternoons feel special, more atmospheric than summer evenings. The daylight is dwindling and yet the colors are so vibrant 🍂🍁 #ベリー #リンゴンベリー #秋 #自然 #森林浴

Yarrow and aster flowers. The common yarrow is a native species, whereas the violet-hued aster (amellus) flowers are not. Both plants have medicinal properties and have been used for centuries to cure various ailments. They can be used to treat wounds and have other anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving qualities #花フレンド #薬草 #薬 #自然 #森林浴

Clovers in the late afternoon sunlight ☘️ Today is the last day of August and in many ways the last day of summer too 🥺 It is time to say goodbye to the warm and bright summer days and prepare for cloudier and cooler days of September 🧣🍂☔ #秋 #花フレンド #蜂 #自然 @ Jyväskylä, Finland

Tomorrow is Finnish Nature Day 🇫🇮💚 I want to share some beautiful views from Toriseva nature trail to celebrate the day 😊 You have to experience the beauty of the ravine lakes first hand, the photos don't do them justice. But I hope you will enjoy my snaps anyway🤞By the way, the little red cabin there has been serving coffee for travellers since 1936! The ravine lakes have been sought-after since the 1800's when it was first photographed by I.K. Inha. This is a very traditional and deeply loved spot for nature lovers and travellers alike #湖のある暮らし #森林浴 #大自然 @ Torisevan rotkojärvet

Grassroots 🌱🔎 A frog and a toadlet smaller than the porcinis. The blue shimmer on the humble dung beetle's shell gives it a noble look, as if it was a living jewel, a scarab✨ #甲虫 #蛙 #キノコ #秋 #森林浴 @ Jyväskylä, Finland

Bumblebees and heather flowers. An explosion of purple and pink in the midst of the dark green forest, heather shrubs in full bloom #花フレンド #蜂 #自然 #森林浴 @ Vaarunvuori

We had a very prolific mushroom picking trip. I managed to find black chanterelles and porcinis, and also sheep polypores and hedgehog mushrooms. There are plenty of delicious wild mushrooms that grow in our forests. Mushroom hunting is so much fun! The black chanterelles are my favorite because of their rich and peppery taste 😋 #キノコ #森林 #自然 @ Korpilahti

Nature's little miracles 🦋 Flying jewels, the ruby red peacock butterflies 😍 Gathering sweet nectar from the thistle flowers. The caterpillars eat only nettles and the adults prefer thistles as their main source of food. The scientific name of this butterfly is Aglais Io, which refers to the Ancient Greek mythology. Io was a beautiful priestess, who became the lover of Zeus #蝶 #森の中で #森 #自然 #晴れた @ Jyväskylä, Finland

Weird and wonderful, a bit scary and even poisonous things. The bright red fly agaric mushrooms look unreal and out of place on the forest floor. The spiders were floating in their webs waiting for the catch of the day. There were purple mushrooms and very curious looking lumps called ramaria flava or keltahaarakas in Finnish. This mushroom looks truly odd but it too is edible can weigh up to several kilos #キノコ #クモの巣 #奇妙な #森林 #自然 @ Jyväskylä, Finland

It's autumn soon and the harvest season for wild food has begun in earnest. Fresh berries, chanterelles and porcinis. Super foods of the forest 🍄✨ A squirrel followed me around. I am not sure if the critter had dibs on the mushroom already. Anyhow, I think he was just having a good laugh at my expense 😅 #自然 #林 #キノコ #ビルベリー #収穫期 #リス #可愛い @ Jyväskylä, Finland

Fished for five hours straight and this was the result. One perch per hour basically 😅 But time spent on the boat fishing is never wasted in my opinion 🎣 The slow rocking of the boat, the sound of the waves lapping against the sides and just the scenery out there on the open water, just lovely 🌊 It would be very difficult for me to live anywhere else than the Lakeland area 🤔 #湖のある暮らし #自然 #釣り #魚 @ Jyväskylä, Finland

A beautiful forest pond tucked away in the woods of Muuratsalo, near the Aalto summer villa. An old rowing boat had sunk to the bottom, who knows how many years ago. The light on the water and the reflections on the surface were captivating. There was some drama too, in miniature scale, a dragon fly was about to drown but finally, thankfully, it found a branch to climb on. After drying its wings, it took to the air once again 🥺 #森林浴 #自然 #トンボ @ Velakallionlampi

Even more cloudberries and this time I made some jam too 😋 The rest of the berries I put into the freezer. The swamp was also quite photogenic. Kiiskilänmäki observation tower was nearby, so I mustered all the strenght I still had left to climb it. The berry picking trip took us 5 hours. Some stretching is in order now 🙆‍♀️ #自然 #クラウドベリー #ジャム @ Sahrajärvi, Multia

Cloudberries, another local seasonal delicacy 🧡💛 Cloudberries usually grow in the swamps. They are very nutricious and can be made into jams and used in baking and sweet desserts. You can buy cloudberries in a grocery store, but they are free if you just go out there and look for them in the forest. At least it's more fun that way (and even healthier with the fresh air and excercise) 😊 #自然 #ベリー #クラウドベリー #パイ @ Muurame

Bright yellow fragrant chanterelles! So many great recipes, and the season for 'shroom hunting' has just begun. My favorite mushroom is the less common horn of plenty or the black chanterelle. The yellow chanterelles taste pleasant but mild. The black chanterelles are more peppery and spicy. Wish me luck I'll find more of both mushrooms this season🤞 The games afoot 🔎 #森林浴 #自然 #キノコ #茸 @ Jyväskylä, Finland

We went on a day trip to Lake Saimaa. We started our walking tour at the Puumala harbor and continued along the Saimaa seal trail. The trail took us around the archipelago and along the beautiful Saimaa shoreline. The lakeside views were magnificent. A thunderstorm passed us halfway through the trail. The weather was a bit chilly so we decided not to go swimming. The sandy beaches and smooth rocks were tempting though. I can easily understand why seals and people alike love Saimaa. The Saimaa seals are an unique and endangered species. It is pure luck if you are able to spot one and luckier still to take a picture of one 💙💚 #湖のある暮らし #森林浴 #大自然 #湖畔 #アザラシ @ Saimaa, Puumala

I'm not the best cook or baker in our family. However I wanted to make something delicious with these lovely local products. I found a nice recipe that included all of my favorites - strawberries, rhubarb and meringue 😍 I had to try it! This type of summery cake is called the Brita cake. It's very popular in Finland. The rhubarb curd gave it a nice twist 🍰 #イチゴ #ルバーブ #ケーキ #メレンゲ @ Jyväskylä, Finland

Bees toiling away after a rainy day. What would we do without them 😌 Love nature, love bees 💛🧡🖤 #自然 #夏 #雨の後 #蜂 @ Jyväskylä, Finland

Meadow magic 💚 The light playing on the petals and grasses, so beautiful. I can almost picture fairies dancing among the flowers, swinging in the gentle summer breeze 🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️ #森林浴 #大自然 #花フレンド @ Jyväskylä, Finland

29/06/2020

Kulhanvuori nature trail in Saarijärvi is a must see. Moody and mystical streams, gem-like dragonflies and brilliant green grasses and ferns... I felt like I had stepped into a fairy tale forest 💚✨ #森林浴 #大自然 #冒険 #シダ #林 #トンボ @ Kulhanvuori
