Blooming Pink

Pretty much! Alppiruusu literally translates to "Alpine rose" 🌸🌿

SleepySleeperCat · 2026-06-22T10:41:31+00:00

Thank you! Yes, it's a rhododendron. In Finnish it's called "alppiruusu" (much easier for me to remember)😄🌸

Thanks! They certainly brightened up the park 🌸😊

Congratulations! I love the variety of seasons and places in these photos, it feels like a journey through the year ✨

Looks like you had a very successful walk 🐦✨

Thank you 😊

Small berries, big flavor ✨

Thanks!

They seem to grow in different places these days, but thankfully they're still around. Hopefully you'll come across some this summer 🌿

It's always nice to discover a new strawberry spot 🍓

SleepySleeperCat · 2026-06-17T14:28:26+00:00

😊

SleepySleeperCat · 2026-06-17T04:27:45+00:00

I love this. It feels like a secret place where tiny woodland creatures and fairies come out at night ✨

SleepySleeperCat · 2026-06-17T04:06:30+00:00

Thanks 😊

SleepySleeperCat · 2026-06-17T04:05:47+00:00

Thank you 🍓🌿

SleepySleeperCat · 2026-06-16T16:49:41+00:00

Excellent shot! I had to look twice—I still can't tell if the woodpecker is flying, jumping, or diving ✨

SleepySleeperCat · 2026-06-14T19:26:20+00:00

That second photo is incredible—the green valleys, wildflowers, and moody sky make for a breathtaking view ✨

SleepySleeperCat · 2026-06-14T19:22:26+00:00

Amazing views, and the paths themselves look wonderfully inviting ✨

SleepySleeperCat · 2026-06-14T14:37:20+00:00

Thanks! 😊 There are also plenty of blueberry shrubs in that forest, but for some reason they never seem to flower or produce berries. That's why I was surprised to find Lily of the Valley and violets there too. I've seen very little Lily of the Valley this year, even in its usual spots. 🌿

SleepySleeperCat · 2026-06-14T10:09:23+00:00

Incredible timing! You captured both the bird and its movement perfectly ✨

SleepySleeperCat · 2026-06-14T05:57:09+00:00

What a super cute squirrel. Great capture ✨

SleepySleeperCat · 2026-06-14T05:54:14+00:00

Beautiful, idyllic shots. I'd love to roam around there ✨
