Been a bit cold (photos showing our back yard). Notice the SUN on the top of the trees! Whooee for that!

Then when it got milder, last saturday, there was a bit crowdy on the bird's feeding place. I counted there were 7 species.

My art? I tried out a bit of ice carving during the intensive course that was organized by our department to the Nordic students of EDDA Norden -network (www.eddanorden.org). I'm a present coordinator of the network and could not participate in the course, but had a role as the boring organizer who dealt with budget, mainly. Still I had a chance to peak into the processes of others.

The ice and snow works were done in a snow hotel Lainio (I slept one night there, or tired to sleep as the speeling bag was too big and I sank in it)
