Look up!

Leaves of summer
Now leaves of fall
In colourful schemes
Or so it seems
For not too long
Will they go strong
Onto the ground
Their way will be found
And with the groundskeeper’s rake
Into a tall mound
Eventually transforming
Slowly metamorphosing
Catching sleep
Oh so very deep
Through the white winter
Not even a splinter
Can be found
But slowly when Spring time
They come a live
And fill the trees
With all new leaves

up close and personal

When the nature has shed
Summer’s green
The colours of red
Is all that is seen
Leaves and berries
Even the cherries
Shining brightly
So tread lightly
When stepping into nature

Last of August

“It’s the very last day, officially, of Summer, the month ending, summer ending, nature, going to sleep, and soon enough, the snow will be landing, so go, get out there, take a breather amongst the colours of Summer!” Gun Roswell

Roaming around the Hood
Because the weather was really good
Clouds floating in the blue sky
Wishing if only I could fly
The sun warm on my skin
Melting the coldest of Finns
Colours burning bright
Ideas taking flight
Snap, click, snap, click
Hoping to score some great pics
So here they are
I didn’t walk too far
But still got a great bunch
In a time it takes to have lunch

Fall is upon


Roaming around the Hood

It rains in August?

The light droplets of rain
Falling onto the open plane
The air cool and crisp
The wind but a wisp
The nature lush and green
Everything new and clean

Pretty them flowers be

Pretty Flower I see

Pretty flower, bending in the wind

Never breaking, just a little shaking

When the blow is really hard

She acts really smart

Bundling up her petals

In a position very protective

Surviving the forces of nature

Without any kind of hatred

Rainy season

Pouring Rain

The rain came pouring in

Hitting hard, on my exposed skin

A summers child caught in weather of cold

Just because someone tricked me and was sold

A sales pitch promising adventure

A bargain with more than the turn of the century

Travel to an exotic land way up in the north

Yeah man, I thought I had it scored!

So now, here I stand in the pouring rain

This ever changing weather driving me insane

Hoping a glimpse of sun to catch

But guess with this climate, i have met my match!

Darkness and Light

Darkness and Light

‘Twas the darkest of seasons

No way to put a smile on

But a small light was lit

And that was only the beginning of it

Many a more

Turned their lights on

And then the world

Was not so dark anymore

Sisu, Sauna and Something else?

” When in Helsinki, do as the Finns do” 

Finns, what a nationality
We have quite the ability
To enjoy ourselves
With life’s simple little things

Sauna, heated to at least eighty degrees
Surely hot enough to melt any cheese
Beating each other with branches of birch
Almost as purifying as absolution in a church

Sisu, the spunk, guts and percistence
We have plenty of through out our existance
Rally drivers, Nokia, Linux and the rest
We only deliver the best

Koskenkorva, pure spirit made out of barley
After drinking, don’t ride your Harley
The Swedes may prefer their Vodka
But for the Finns, it’s pure dogma

We have lakes and forrests in abundance
So please come and join us
For a visit in the green of nature
It won’t leave you denatured

Yellow Things

“It’s yellow so it must be pretty” Gun Roswell

Great things
Always come in threes
Even if you sneeze
You will love these
Little yellow things
Brought by spring
