Yesterday afternoon, I spotted two oxeye daisies still blooming and I hoped we would get another cold morning in Helsinki so that I could try getting a photo of the flowers covered in frost. The forecast for today looked promising, so I headed out before sunrise to see the daisies again. They looked, understandably, less perky than yesterday. Still pretty though!

A close up photo of two frozen oxeye daisies on a cold morning in October.

I've seen better days
I've been the star of many plays
I've seen better days
(And the #daisy drops out)

Yep, this about sums up the state of my #garden 😅 (the #daisies make room for new stars though)

A low-angle, close-up shot focuses on a single, wilting daisy against a softly blurred background of green foliage and bright bokeh lights. The daisy's central disc is a prominent, textured dome of golden yellow florets. Its white petals, however, are dry, crinkled, and discoloured with brown edges, showing clear signs of decay and wilting. The stem is a vibrant green. The background is out of focus, creating circles of light from what appears to be sunlight filtering through leaves, giving a dreamy effect behind the starker reality of the fading flower.

It's so hot, it makes me yearn for #rain. I'm in a #sombre mood today. For one, I've got the sniffles (and I'm an expert whiner), but more seriously: the hatchlings disappeared without a trace. 🥺 The nest is empty, the parents are nowhere in sight, and there's something on the floor that looks like dry blood. I haven't the faintest idea what happened. The nest sits undisturbed on the beam, so what could have snatched them? I didn't think the spot is easy to reach for a ground predator. It's just straight beams and walls. Could a raccoon or pine marten have climbed up there for a snack? Very sad. 😢

A close-up, high-angle shot captures a white daisy glistening with numerous water droplets on its petals and central yellow disc. The white petals, some slightly creased, radiate outwards from the vibrant orange-yellow centre, which is composed of many tiny florets. A few small insects are visible on the yellow disc. The background is a soft blur of dark green foliage, making the daisy stand out prominently within the white framed image.

Juhannus – the Finnish midsummer. It's been cloudy and rainy for a few days here in Helsinki, but the sun dropped by yesterday, encouraged me to go for a walk, and pointed me to these ox-eye daisies. We call them "päivänkakkara" which is a wonderful name for a flower.

And now it looks like it's going to rain again 🙄 Well, I think the daisies like it.

A high-angle, close-up shot focuses on a red ladybird with black spots resting on the bright yellow centre of a white daisy. The daisy's petals are fully open, showcasing its vibrant colours. The background is softly blurred, displaying a verdant green with other out-of-focus white and yellow flowers, suggesting a garden or field setting.

Summer has finally arrived to the north. I'm soaking every bit of this luscious greenery into my soul before it's winter again.

A close-up, slightly overhead shot showcases a single white daisy, its petals adorned with numerous water droplets. The daisy has a vibrant yellow centre composed of tiny florets arranged in a spiral pattern. The long, slender white petals radiate outwards, many still carrying glistening water drops that catch the light. One petal near the top appears slightly folded or damaged. The background is blurred and dark, suggesting soil and perhaps some indistinct foliage, which makes the bright flower stand out prominently. The lighting highlights the texture of the petals and the spherical shape of the water droplets.

Close up of a single Oxeye daisy bloom, with more out of focus in the background, taken in the warm and low evening sunset light. A ring of white petals, and yellow flowerlets form the 'eye'. Specks of pollen are visible on some of the white petals, indicating some pollinators have already visited and trodden their messy feet over the clean white floors.

Our attempt at a wild flower meadow in the garden is going quite well this summer, so well that we've had to clear a path through the ox-eye daisies to reach the bird feeder.
