Algol goes out for the first time

It is a very warm day today, too. Algol reminded that he has never ever been outside, so it must be his turn today.


Algol and tar flowers

Algol: I'll pick that one and take a closer look...



Algol: It does not look very tarry to me...



Algol: Here's a nice mossy spot, a soft resting place.


On the beach

Algol: I think I can go and swim a little...



Algol: Hey, this water is icy cold. I'm not going to swim here!



Algol: Here's a little moss covered tree stump. Just suitable for a little one like me to sit on.



Algol: This rock has been split into two...



Algol: ... and a secret passageway underground has been created...



Algol: I wonder if there are lots of trolls and ghouls and ogres in there... I'm not going there alone!

Outsider: Well, I'm too big to fit in.

Algol: Well.... I guess we must go home then...

Pilvi and forest flowers

Today is a beautiful, warm day and Pilvi declared that it is her turn to go out and look for pretty flowers.

Apple blossoms



Dandelions are still blooming, but coltsfoots have gone to puffballs.



Coltsfoot puffball



Strawberry field



Strawberry flowers



Most dandelions are still in full bloom...



...but Pilvi has found an early puffball...



Blow it!

Pilvi: Can I blow the seeds all the way over the Atlantic?



Pilvi: Pooooooooooooooooooooofffffffffffff....



Pilvi: All gone...



Pilvi: I wonder where they went...


Pilvi and mountain ash flowers



Veronicas



Veronicas



Lily of the valley - but just buds, no flowers yet...



Forget-me-nots



Now, what is this...

Pilvi: I think I'll take this loose branch home. Maybe Fomalhaut and the trolls can use it in their toad garden project...


And last just a general view to show how green the forest now is.

Eggie and eggs

Eggie has found some eggs...




And she wants to help me fry them...

- Careful, Eggie, you don't want to end up as a fried egg yourself!
