After a glorious sleep-in (till 5:30am!) and work that finished before midday, the choices for amusement were either a) eat cookie dough to the point of nausea, or b) go on a walk and bask in the beauty of nature. The second option won by a narrow margin, but only because I'd eaten all of my cookie dough the day previous.

| SQUIRREL |
 |
| I have about twenty, stupidly blurry shots of this bee. This is both the least stupid and the least blurry. |
And then! Wild strawberries were discovered, and et, even though optimally they would ripen just a little longer. But fuck that, free strawberries.

| TINY STRAWBERRIES |
 |
| Clearly, my caucus of strawberries is the smaller and less discerningly picked one. HOW COULD YOU TELL. |
 |
| Look at them, all threaded onto grass like real Finnish children do. |
 |
| Please note the characteristic fauna of Finland, the ubiquitous Angry Bird. |
Then, WWII artillery, as you do.
To round the whole thing off: pheasant! They seem to wander about fairly freely. They remind me of the pheasant couple from The Animals of Farthing Wood, and I'm sort of glad it's been so long since I've seen the series that I can't recall their inevitable and gruesome deaths. BUT ANWAY. Here's a pheasant!
