From A Different Angle

Last weekend we went out to my better half’s family’s (I could’ve made that sound a lot more difficult, but it’s only Tuesday, so… 😉 ) summer house on the point of an island about 20 minutes out in the archipelago between Finland and Sweden. It’s a little pearl. I hadn’t been there since last year and it was great being back there again, especially now in fall. Last year the fall sucked moosepeckers (yeah, I know, I keep on saying that, but it’s all Wayne’s fault 😀 ), but this year’s it’s just been beautiful.
They forecast rain for pretty much the whole weekend, but instead we got a good storm on Sunday. Saturday was a gorgeous day. Sunny with a bit of clouds. Not seriously warm, but pleasant. Shame that we only had such a short time. This week the boat will be taken out of the water and prepared for winter. Maybe we get to drive to the summer house during winter… If we get some sort of winter this year… because last year the winter……….. 😀

I also tried some panning. Really! It’s not as easy as it seams! Those… Heck, how am I going to say that in a decent way? I was going to say “those fucking dragonflies are so damn fast”… But really, they are. And they were fucking! So… Owwell… Just excuse me my french this time, I usually don’t express myself like this… 😀
