Mute swans










Mute swans, Töölönlahti,
Helsinki 24.10.2014.

I hadn't seen the swan family for a
couple of months. Sadly the family
had lost one cygnet since then.

We had a few cold days last week.
We got a little snow and there was
some ice along the shore. Now it's
 almost 15 degrees Celsius warmer again.

These plants have many common names.
In Brittish English they're called bulrush
or reedmace. In American English they're
called cattail, catninetail or corn dog grass.
In Austrailia they're known as cumbungi or
bulrush, in Canada as bulrush or cattail and

Herring gull




A juvenile herring gull in the Market Square
in Helsinki 7.10.2014.

I saw this bird during the traditional
Baltic Herring Fair which was held in the
Market Square for the 272nd time in 2014.
If you want to see more photos from the fair you
can find them in my Wordless Wednesday post.
