After a while back

So it took two weeks to come back.


Last week I was traveling and guess what,
it was quite successful for seeing animals.

Swans flying over the forest, squerrel looking
from tree and fox sitting by the road.

Fox is allways so careful, that it dissappears
before you can see it . Most likely early morning
time was the reason to see it.

Lakes are slowly opening from ice cover
and local birds are returning their own
nesting places.

Great Crested Grebes (Silkkiuikku - fin)
have returned to our lake Saimaa again,
same ones that have been here years.

And that is something that you wait every
spring to happen.

Guess who is coming piece by piece......

So first week in the work after vacation. The weather
is changing from rains to snow and back to sunny....

This spring is more rainy than last year. As we were driving
to Kuopio all the rivers and ditches were over the limits. The
smelting snow is filling ditches even the ground is covered
with snow.

The ground is still frozen as small ponds is creating on every
pit. And even in some places it's slowly coming day by day
closer to roads.

The best are swamps that are wet and full of water like
in autumn after heavy rains.

What is more beautiful than see swans flying over still
snow covered forest trying to find open waterplace - on
the way up north.

Then you know that the spring is coming. Every small thing
in nature birds coming back, water filled ditches, small birds
singing in the morning and days getting longer day after day
- I'm here and just wait right time to arrive - spring.

And what is better than walking around and looking the
nature, so here's todays walk ...

Nokia training program

Well tracker is like your personal trainer, again today
started it with my normal short walk with dogs. Somehow
it's like my personal shadow, that you look after a while.

How much today - what's the speed am I progressing with
my walks. You know like all of us we get used to habits - like
TV, radio or movies .

Well most interesting is to get detail data on those everyday
routes, which length and speed you have guessed years. And
what's best you can see it on map, there I was a while go.

Here is one of tracks from yesterday try out

Nokia sports tracker E61i

My friend Riku show it me today - and
told me to try it out.

Well if you Nokia phone with GPS facility,
then Sports tracker is the thing what you
have look for !

Sports Tracker gives our possibility to
record your daily training routes - length -
speed -altitude and much more.

The best is that your can look your training

friends or public.

I downloaded it to my E61i and tested with
outside GPS-module. Worked like clock and
really gives me good information from our
daily walkings routes.

Foggy day

Well now winter is fading in eyes + 10 C and
rain falling down slowly. Early morning fog was
thick and heavily hiding the streets and city.

A day was grey but warm and the evening again
rainy and foggy. A long walk with dogs
and now enjoying fireplace warm and cosy
feeling.

Cruising..

So after a sunny morning walk I start up the MB
and rolled to downtown of Lappeenranta with my buddies
(read dogs).

Went for crocery for shopping some food and after that
took long ride back to home. Well it felt so good to see
streets out of snow and sun shining for blue sky.

Well it was the right time to roll down streets slowly and
open the roof a little. As we were rolling down and listening the
radio, you could watch frozen lake with white snow on top.

This is right time to cruise and wait until the first sunny
spring day.

Now it's time to go for a walk... see you later
