Dreaming of a White Winter



This is what Finland looks like in January 2010. White, snowy, frosty. A true Wonderland!



The temperature in Helsinki today was about -15 degrees (Celsius, not Fahrenheit). If you are dressed properly, it's not really cold is it? Maybe a couple of stockings (referrably woollen), warm boots, thick accessories... Freelancer's Fashionblog has a great tutorial for dressing when it's this cold!

Just imagine Siberia somewhere in Northern Russia, where it easily can be some -50, so this is nothing. Just breezy and nice :)



And here is this qute squirrel, who doesn't really care of the cold. He's just having a quick snack on top of the bird feeder. And look at that small titmouse, he's waiting to get a bite to eat, too.

With Love from Finland,
Ilona
