Just pics of on my walks, of the mountains or in the yard.
This one I love and put as my desktop background. I love the look of the new birch buds, with the almost grown Rowen, and theres still snow on the mountain.
Spring is here,,,,,sometimes!

Oh Biita can I please pinch that first one as I think it's beautiful? One day I really must try to visit your country and see views like that for myself.

Thank you all,, I do love the views, but i am guilty of taking them for granted.
Just remember i do have a camp ground and no one ever has to worry about a place to stay!

I don't think there is any other place on planet that gets such blue skies, then the far north.

I love the last photo, you did a fantastic job of framing it. And I love the mountain photos of course.

Great pics Biita. I think we all take our own surroundings for granted. I have some beautiful beaches and up North mountains. I try to appreciate it and I love taking my girls around and showing them things. You do indeed live in a wonderful area. Thanks for sharing.

Once again you have shown us some moving fotos.
Those buds in the last foto look as if I could just reach out and touch them.
I always enjoy seeing pics of your country and especially where you live.

Thanks everyone,, the birch or bjørk tree is my favorite tree of them all i think. I just love the leaves the way they grow, the white paper or sometimes its reddish, all the things that can be used off it, and also its a very spiritual symbol.
