I invite you to check out my other website showcasing my other passion, dogs and Borzois in particular!
Miskat Borzois

My darling *istDS, now nine years old, showing first tiny symptoms of old age... Tens of thousands of images gloriously captured it has earned it's retirement on my shelf. I might and probably will take it down every now and then just to say hi and I love you.

K20D, six years old, still going strong, doing exactly that what it was made to do, to deliver. And deliver it does, splendidly, every single time. What a workhorse of a camera!

K-3. Love you already. I feel like a kid in a candy store...

Over 1.040.000 visits since May 2006 and over 50.000 visits since December the 24th 2012.

Over a million visits. What can I say? I am speechless. And very, very humble. And thanking You from the bottom of my heart.

As always I hope You have found images worth taking a look and maybe a longer look?

You are an inspiration.

Thank You.

Seed Market eli SiemenMarkkinat

Rakkaat visiteeraajat ja lukijat,

siemeniä alkaa kohta olla yli oman tarpeen. Niinpä perustankin sivustolleni SiemenMarkkinat.

Laitan tarjolle itsekasvattamiani siemeniä, sekä huonekasvien että puutarhakasvien siemeniä. Nyt talvella siemenet ovat huonekasveista, lähinnä hippeastrumeista. Keväästä syksyyn tarjolle tulee puutarhakasvienkin siemeniä.

Hippeastrum-siemeniä on jo, ensimmäiset kypsyneet siemenet ovat yhdistelmistä
- 'White Garden' x 'Jewel'
- 'Exotica' x 'Exotic Star'

Lähettelen siemeniä vaikka minne ja vaikka kenelle. :D

Ota yhteyttä Contact Me -sivun kautta tai suoraan sähköpostilla, jos olemme jo entuudestaan tuttuja.

Exotic Garden

Täällä pohjolan perukoilla, täällä maailman ääressä, täällä lähellä kylmyyden ydintä tarjoillaan amaryllisvalikoimaa, jota ei tarvitse hävetä missään;
'Sweet Lilian', 'Green Goddess'/'Bianca', 'Exotic Star', 'Magic Green', 'Fairytale'... Oh My!!

Jo viime vuodelta on lenasella kasvamassa sipuleita EG:lta ja tänä syksynä niitä on tullut lisää; ja tulee vielä lisää...

Ajattelen toki vain ja ainoastaan Teitä hyvät lukijat, ;D , onko mitään, mitään, kuvauksellisempaa kuin amarylliksen kukka?!

Toiveissani on antaa Teille kuvina 'Exotic Star'in, 'Neon'in, 'Baby Star'in, H. papilion...
