Hello Merike, this is such a wonderful album. I like it very much. I found all pictures beautiful, still nrs. 18 and 19 (River Vantaa) are my favourites. I am very glad to get to know this part of Helsinki this way. Very belated thanks for your reaction on the Spring picture (tulips) you got sent from Sandie (zzandra107). During the last weeks we here also enjoy the joy of Springtime. I enjoy this time double, because April did not bring happy memories with it, because of the death of my father last year, and April this year my mother suddenly passed away too. So this will always be attached to April for times to come. It will take some time though. I released a new Spring album recently, and also in the rattery there is new life. There also life and death go sometimes hand in hand. A new litter is born and a few days later one of our dearest girls died after surgery. Life in a nutshell. Have a very nice weekend, Merike. Take care, Els (evanwely/wely246)

Hello Merike thanks for the invitation. It seems the spring arrived at last in Helsinki. I love this stage of spring, where the trees are still naked, but already show a bit of green against a clear blue sky. Your captures are perfect. Those spring flowers are lovely – and well known to me from my past. :-) So I took them forever to my screensaver . . . .! Have a wonderful day and a great holiday! - Galit

Hi Merike, So great to walk with you along the fields of Scilla and to see river, trees, bridge and nice houses that Helsinki has to offer. Hans found a great place to spend his life. I think you are very brave to denounce the abuse of ponies in your country. I think Amnesty International has a difficult task here. Anyway, thanks for taking me along on your trip, I enjoyed it very much! Greetz, Tjebbe
