Annecy

I've been to Annecy three times on business, a beautiful city near the Alps. Luckily I've had the chance to see the old town a bit and also the opportunity to play with my camera.

I liked this arrangement of flowers and plants I found in one of the back alleys in the old town. And guess what Tuomas said when he saw the photo? "Oh, mom, there's a Coke bottle!". Can you see it, right behind the wheel....

Live music. These guys were having a lot of fun. I was too shy to stand between them and the audience to get a decent photo.

Who? Part II and III

And these blue eyes belong to.....?

Edit: Tuomas, almost 5.5 years. My sister has often asked if I pluck his eyebrows, they are so nice and even. And no, I don't!

Is this one the eldest, youngest or the middle one?

Edit: Risto, almost 7.5 years. Unfortunately he was wearing a bicycle helmet so the blueness of his eyes doesn't come out that strongly. They're almost Robert Redford blue.

I didn't think about giving any prizes for the winners. But I'll be more than willing to take YOUR picture!

Who?

Who is staring at you?

Edit: This charmer is Jaakko, 3.5 years.

Help!!! Let me out of here!!!!!

Pictures

Random pictures from Florida.

Jaakko is a bicycle boy, now. Just like his older brothers. I took off the supporting wheels on April 14th, and he really enjoys his freedom! It took him about two days to really get the hang of it. He's 3.5 years so pretty good, IMHO.

I bought a children's book on human anatomy and gave it to Risto. He's extremely interested in it, reading (and I mean READING, not just looking at the pictures) it almost every night. And it's in Swedish!

We're trying to teach Tuomas how to pronounce the letter "r" like the Finnish do, not like the French. It's hard and he gets frustrated very easily.

Timppa is looking forward to the golf season to start properly.
