Spring 2

Finland has done its usual trick of moving from winter - boots, thick jackets, and gloves - to summer in the space of a week or so.

Everything blooms in one go, which is a problem for hay fever sufferers. (Birch and ash pollen generally causing the most problems.) The good news is that flowers blossom, bringing brighter colours into the natural world.

For your enjoyment, a couple of photos.
