Kesä/Summer 2012

I've spent this summer (so far) 

- doing field work in Lapland (many long crazy fun days)

- chilling in Kainuu (family reunions and all)

- hanging out in Espoo (many many many picnics)

aaaand that's about it! So now it's time to craft some more..!

But first, some fant-ass-tic photos of this summer, in no particular order:

Bonn, Köln, Speyer & Strasbourg

Flowers and birds and things, oh my!

I love old school diagrams and picture books of the educational nature. 
While doing some research work for my thesis today (on a SUNDAY, I know, so wrong) I stumbled upon this treasure trove:


A collection of historic and modern biology books - Kurt Stüber's Online Library.


Heaven! 
It's a bit tricky to find things if one doesn't know the latin names and what not, but those are easy to find through wikipedia or something, and it's fun to look through all the folders anyway. 
So this site is definitely worth a look if you, like me, enjoy these lovely diagrams and want to print them all out and design wallpapers based on them and write them poems and gift them with chocolate and fluffy teddybears holding hearts.


There's plants and birds and butterflies and mammals and crustaceans and...

Phwoooar, gooorgeous!

Animals!

My sister requested a post on animals. This was because I pressed her into suggesting a theme for me. Her first suggestion was kittens. Kittens are very nice, but I don't have many kittens around the house. So she settled for an animal theme. So here we have... animals from around my house! (As in inside, it's not like my house has been besieged by drawings of animals or anything. Yes... so, here they are!)

 

Animals are awesome.
