Pildid kahest viimasest päevast, peamiselt keskendusin aias/heinamaal olevatele lilledele.

Photos from the last previous days, mainly focused on flowers from the garden.

Taas õnnestus ema pildile saada // Mom agreed to model again
Mullitamises assisteeris ema (mitte vabatahtlikult :D) // Mom assisted me in making bubbles (it was not voluntary :D)
Raudteeäärne kiisu, kes oli väga jutukas ja nõudis palju paitamist :) // A lovely cat I met by the railway, he was eager to talk and get lots of petting.

Eelmisel aastal jäi Viru raba külastus vahele ja seega võtsin tänavu nõuks kindlasti sealt läbi käia. Kahjuks ei õnnestunud taas huulheina pildistamine, vaid üks pilt kukkus enam-vähem välja. Rabarajalt kõrvale hüppamine pole lubatud ja seega olin kõhuli risti mööda kõrgendatud laudteed ning ei näinud ööd ega mütsi, mis või kas üldse fookuses on :D Aga eks see ole ka omamoodi tore väljakutse.

I promised myself to go to Viru bog this year, especially after skipping going last year. Unfortunately photographing sundews was a fail once again, only one shot turned out okay. It's forbidden to step aside from the boarded path and that meant you had to lie across the path and thus see nothing from the viewfinder (because the path is raised from the ground as well, so you reach out your arm as far as you can to get close for a macro shot) :D But hey, small challenges like these make it interesting.

Jaanipäev möödus sel korral haruldaselt hea ilmaga - jaanitule ajal vihma ei sadanud, lisaks paras temperatuur ja päikepaiste. Päevad aga vennad ei ole ja järgneval hommikul oli platsis paduvihm ja uudis Brexitist.
Igatahes möödus jaanipäev traditsiooniliselt - sai korjatud kaks kimpu põllulilli, tehtud terve päeva süüa ja õhtul grillitud. Kuna Vasalemmas oli pidu samuti 23. juunil, siis sinna kahjuks ei jõudnud.

The weather really graced us during this year's Midsummer - no rain during the bonfire + perfect temperature and sunshine. Days are not brothers and the next morning woke me up with rain and news about Brexit.
But anyway it was another one of our traditional Midsummers - picked 2 bouquets of wild flowers, slaved a whole day in the kitchen and had a barbeque in the evening. Vasalemma held its bonfire on the 23rd as well, so we decided not to go there this year.
Helepruun hobune oli vist tõeline naljahammas, ta naeris mitu korda (pole sellist asja kunagi ise näinud) // Light brown horse was real joker, I've never seen a horse laugh before...but that one did it many times while giving rides.

Veel on vara, rahvas koguneb // Too early, people still gathering
Viimane kord Kernu valla lippu näha? // Last time seeing the flag of Kernu parish?
Lõke pole veel süüdatud, aga disko käib :D // Until everyone waits for the bonfire, the disco is on :D
Ja viimaks ka süütamine. Eufooriat võib näha väikse poisi näost // And fire at last, you can see the euphoria from the little boy's gestures.
Nüüd on aeg klassikalisteks fotojäädvustusteks // Now it is time for classic bonfire shots.

Sel suvel sai viimaks käidud (2 korda) Rummu karjääris. Mõlemil korral oleme näinud põnevat rahvast ja nautinud head ujumist. Vesi läheb küll uskumatult kiirelt sügavaks (kõigest paari sammuga on vesi üle pea), seega sellega tuleb arvestada ja mitte oma oskusi üle hinnata. Majast/müürilt ma ise siiski ei hüppaks, sest enne tänavust suve polnud 6+ aastat vees käinud ja ujumisoskus on selle ajaga veidi rooste läinud. Tegelikult pole isegi tahtmist, sest teiste hulljulgust vaadata on ka täitsa piisav :)
August oli selline kuu, mis pakkus palju erinevaid emotsioone. Vahepeal oli päris raske aeg, kuid tänaseks on see õnneks möödas. Juulis-augustis olid ka tööotsingud ja septembris asun tööle uues ametis. Loodetavasti saan seal hakkama :)
Jamad olid ka arvutiga, mis oli üks põhjus, miks ma pilte väga ei teinud. Panin nimelt peale Windows 10, millega kaasnes hulgaliselt probleeme. Esmalt ei toiminud enam kõrvaklapid - ilma nendeta heli oli, kuid kõrvaklappidest ei tulnud midagi. Mässasin tükk aega, aga kuna viga oli ilmselt suhteliselt unikaalne, siis samm-sammulist abi kuskilt saada polnud. Seega, kui kellelgi on sama asi (kõrvaklappidest heli enam ei tule), siis kõigepealt tuleb uninstallida arvutil helidraiverid (minu puhul Delli läpakas ja Realtek draiverid) ning maha keerata My Computerist draiverite automaatne uuendamine. Vastasel juhul installib Windows uuesti vanad draiverid ja kogu probleem algab otsast peale. Peale selle oli palju muid nipet-näpet asju, mis tõrkusid ja viimaseks piisaks karikasse sai see, et Photoshop ei avanenud enam. Lightroomiga oli kõik korras, kuid Photoshop miskipärast jonnis. Sellest ma enam mööda vaadata ei saanud ja paar päeva tagasi lasin vana hea Windows 7 jälle peale.

I finally went to Rummu (2 times) this summer. Interesting people, good swim, nice weather. The water gets deep quickly (in just a couple of steps I'm completely under the water), so it's best to keep that in mind and not to over estimate yourself. I personally wouldn't jump into the water from the house/wall because until this summer I hadn't been in water for about 6+ years...so I'm a bit rusty. But looking at other people being daredevils is also quite fun :)
August was a month full of all kinds of emotions. There were quite tough times which have fortunately passed. I was job searching in July-August and in September I'm starting a new job...hopefully everything goes well there :)
I was also having some trouble with my PC because I decided to install Windows 10. The biggest problem I had, was not being able to use headphones anymore. There was sound in the speakers but nothing came out of the headphones. Since the problem was quite unique, no-one had done a step-by-step guide on how to go about fixing that. If anyone else is having the same issue, here's what I did: first I uninstalled my sound drivers (Dell laptop, Realtek drivers), Windows installed its default ones to replace them, and then there was sound in the headphones. But for some reason Windows really wanted to re-install the Realtek drivers and that brought me back to step 1. So, I needed to uninstall those drivers again and then disable automatic driver update/install in My Computer. But the biggest thing that made me go back to Windows 7, was Photoshop. It just didn't start up anymore, although Lightroom was just fine. And that was also one of the reasons that held me back from taking/editing photos for a while. I think Win10 was okay...but there were too many problems and not really much that compensated for that. For instance, the start menu often stopped working. Maybe it had something to do with Internet connection...I really don't know, but if that was the case, I find it odd that Win10 was designed to always be online and not have full functionality when the Internet is down. But again, that's just a speculation. My laptop is pretty old and I realistically wasn't expecting everything to go smoothly with the installation.
