Money can't buy happiness. But it can buy you weed! :P

Just found this funny quotation [some time ago I used it in my another personal blog] and put it as a heading of this post :D I'm now watching Битва экстрасенсов 11th season [our local TV chanel is showing just 10th season now] :D Just copied old photos from my mobile phone to computer and wanted to show you some of them. Random moments - like my view on different things & people [who don't know that I'm taking photos] :) *sorry for the quality*

Some time ago I was in the cinema with my friends, to a movie `Water for Elephants`, and nobody else was there, we were just in an empty room :D

Cute doggy in our local shop :)

One of the evenings at Kolka :) Fire & singing ^.^

Chilling at the beach ^.^

Laboratory works at Kolka :)

One of the tests at Kolka :D Teacher just went out and told us that we can do whatever we want :D

Fantastic book in Finnish for identifying insects at Kolka :D There were no books in Latvian or Russian, only one book in English and one in German [they were always taken, so it was no chance to get them], so I had to read this one :D Was really funny to read it, for me it's hard to understand even simple texts, not talking about scientific words, but when I read something loudly or translated even few words to other people, they were like `how do you understand this?` :D

My good friends Gerda & Žanete taking pics of each other in Čili pica :)

And two other photos :)

This one I like very much - it's last Friday in a bar `Prieks` [or `Joy` in English :D ] with Gerda :) Was very great night, I was dancing like crazy for 4 hours :D

And today, as it was nothing to do, I tried to do French manicure :D Sorry for the quality of this photo, as my camera is now in Turkey, but I really like my nails, even though I tried this for the first time [I always use just one colour and do it really rare] :)

Have a nice day! ;*

Today is a perfect weather outside, but I'm sitting home again, listening to Nightwish [videos from concert `End Of An Era` - they're sooo great, I wish Tarja was still singing with them].

As always, I'm starting this post with complaining about life. I really wanted to go to Rovaniemi in August with my best friend, but she will have to pay for university, so she has no money to drive somewhere. And my parents will go to Turkey tomorrow. So I will be alone here, thinking about life again. Hate that moments.

Anyway, main idea of this post was to show photos from Kolka, as I promised.

It was third week in Kolka, we had hydrobiology, so we were catching fish ^.^

And then we had to measure every fish and count them :)

This is our Sea God, I like his feet, they're real :D

On 13th July, when I had name day, we had to go to the forest and dig a hole there :D We had four groups, and in our group me & Anžela were digging, and we finished first, even faster then groups where guys were digging, lol :D

After lectures we had to go to different places, catch insects there, measure trees and other stuff like this, to write our works [also in groups]. In this photo is our meadow :)
And one day we went to Bažu marsh - in 1992 there was a massive fire, everything burned down, and now there's a nature reserve, where nobody can walk around without special permissions. We got these permissions, of course, and had an excursion there - we had to walk 25 km :)

There we found Coronella austriaca - third snake species in Latvia, it's quite rare.

This is the marsh :)

We also ate cloudberries there ^.^

Also common sundew were growing there, never saw them in nature before :)

After excursion with Zane & Sandra :)

At the seaside, we had to walk 11 km home :D
And on the next day we also had an excursion, wasn't so interesting, but we caught viper :D

And we also saw cormorant at the seaside :)

Also one day there was a massive thunderstorm, and few of us went to the seaside to see it - I never saw something like this in my life :) This photo is taken at 0:26, but it's so light like it is a day :)
Photos from 5th and 6th week at Kolka I'll show in next post few days later :)

My beloved country ♥

Hello everyone! :)

As I've finally returned home and copied all photos to my computer, I can start writing new posts in my blog :) Actually, I'm not in a mood now, after Kolka I have some kind of depression [I want to return to nature, sea, playing volleyball & all those fantastic people], so to change it my first post will be about Finland ♥ I was in Helsinki on 23/24 July, these were two AWESOME days of my life :) I went there, cause I found out that Red Bull will organize a street show [Red Bull Show Run], and there will be Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastien Loeb.

How could I miss a chance of seeing my favourite F1 & rally driver ever, person, who I adore since 2001? I finished all my works at Kolka faster, persuaded my groupmates to answer practice work earlier than other groups, went to Riga, bought tickets [I was running around like crazy that day] and at the evening went to Tallinn with my mom :)

It's been a long time since I wrote here for the last time... Finally studies here at Kolka are over :) I was here six weeks and passed 3 different courses - botany & zoology, field ecology practice and protection and ecology of unvertebrates ^.^ Now I don't want to write much - other photos [also from Finland] I will put here when I'll get home; now just one photo with all the fantastic people who were participating in this unvertebrate course ^.^

From the left: Kristaps [our teacher], Anna, Maija, Mārtiņš, me, Kārlis, Dagmāra [our teacher], Iluta, Sandra, Artūrs, Evita. And photo is taken by another wonderful teacher Voldemārs :)

Thank you everyone ^.^
