Koirablogiani en kykene edelleenkään päivittämään enkä pahemmin katsomaankaan kun siellä on niitä Lucan kuvia joten tulkoon tänne luontoblogiini toistaiseksi muiden kuvien ohessa Ljubankin kuvat. Viikonloput maalla ovat terapeuttisia kun saa kaivella multaa kunnes sänkyyn kaatuu ja ihastella maaseudun kauneutta ja elämää.
My doggy blog is still of the limits for me. I cannot yet quite even look at it as there are so many pictures of Luca there. Hence I will post photos of Ljuba in my nature blog for now alongside with other pictures. The weekends in the country are very therapeutic when one can dig in the soil till one drops in bed and enjoy the beauty of the countryside and the life within.

Rantaniityn punkkimagneetti ... The seaside meadow tick collector

Mitä? Onks tääl punkkeja? ... What? Are there ticks here?

Näin minä pesen ne itsestäni pois ... I'll wash them away from myself like this

Ljuban mökkinaapuri Saku, joka aina kuolaa reippaasti Ljuban nähtyään. Ljubassa on sitä jotain mikä saa pojat kuolaamaan ... Ljuba's cottage neighbour Saku, who always drools heavily at the sight of her. She's got that something to make the boys drool.

Vasikat kevätlaitumella ... Calfs on spring pastures

Utelias ... Inquisitive

Laiturin lokit (kävis bändinkin nimeksi ja yhtä äänekkäitä olivat) ... The board walk gulls (could be the name of a rock group too and they were just as noisy)

Tämä pikkuinen oli huomattavan hiljaisempaa sorttia ... This little one was of a lot more quiet nature

Luuli kai kyyhky olevansa hyvinkin piilossa kun ei mihkään liikkunut ... This pigeon must have thought that it was well hidden and would not budge from the spot

Tämä värikäs harakka ei ruohomättään maastoutumissuojaan niinkään uskonut ... The colourful magpie had no such confidence in the camouflage quality of a tuft of grass

Nokikana halusi kai vain poseerata ... The coot possibly just wanted to pose

Maaseudun maisemia ... Countryside landscapes

Maalla ... On land

Rannalla ... By the shore line

Merellä ... Over the sea

Uusia lehtiä ... New leaves


Ikivihreä vanhus ... Evergreen oldie

Vesilisko lammessa ... A newt in the pond

Toinen lammen asukki ... Another pond dweller

Liljakukko, joka pääsi kuvaan ja kuoli. Näitä kun emme lijoihimme halua. ... A lily beetle that had its picture taken and then died. These we do not want eating up our lilies.

Murkut vanhassa kannossa ... Ants in an old tree stump

Missäs olet ukko koko illan luuhannut kun keon suursiivous on meneillään?! ... And where have you husband been hiding all evening when we have the spring clean of the ant hill?!

Perhosten mukana liihotellut tietenkin ... Been fluttering about with the butterflies no doubt

Jos rouva muurahainen ottais vähän rennommin niinkuin me päiväperhot niin elämäkin sujuis kuin siivillä ... If Mrs ant would take things a bit lighter like us butterflies her life too would just fly along
Niinhän se on meillä ihmisilläkin. Toiset ovat arjen puurtajia ja toiset liitelevät kepeästi paikasta toiseen. ... This how it is with us humans too. Some of us are hard workers while others flutter about from one place to another.
