Her artwork, whenever drawn or written, always brought me a great joy and a feeling of understanding in my life which I rarely experienced otherwise. This post is not only a memorial but also a sign of deep-rooted appreciation.

Happy tiny dog at the sea 💙🌊💙🌊💙🌊

#tiny dog Thor

[heretherebebookdragons]

Tiny wizards' Midsummer adventure by the sea started with a visit to the Karuna church and it's beautiful seaside gardens. They saw many rare birds and to all of our amazement a rare, wild orchid or kämmekka called valkolehdokki.

The Karelian memory stones monument was quite moving to us all 💙

Tiny dog Thor was of course helpfully leading the way and showing Essek and Caleb around, being the most experienced adventurer of all. ✨✨✨
