Like Annikki, our son-in-law's mother, Maire Manninen, is also a extremely talented and creative artist.
Joanna and Tony are very busy redoing their house so that they can give parts of it on rent while Joanna is away in Newcastle. So they asked Maire to come to Oulu for a couple of days so that she could look after little Daniel and samuel while they got the work done. Tony's father is doing some work on the outskirts of Oulu.
Today morning, just as I returned from my walk, I was called out by Samuel who had come over with grandma Maire and little brother, Daniel. Maire had not seen the Kampitie garden, so Annikki was ready in a jiffy to show it to a fellow artist.
Samuel took some picture during the visit of the two doting grandmas, which I share with you here!!
He then spent the rest of the time hosing the garden, one of his greatest thrills as he gets himself drenched in the bargain!
The first picture shows our 8 year old's talent with the really bad digital camera. This fantastic shot shows that it is the creativity that really matters when photographing. He has inherited the artistic and creativity talents from both his grandmas.
A great shot of Maire captured by Samuel
And here are the grandmas with their younger grandson, Daniel.
Samuel caught Maire here in an expressive mood.
A poppy just opened in the greenhouse.
And here is an example of how Annikki took an old wheelbarrow of her late father and some stones and turned them into an art form.
some stones becomes an art form
Annikki and Maire at the greenhouse.
Maire and Annikki get Daniel ready to go home.
And I get a shot of Samuel ready to cycle home with Maire.
An altogether pleasant and enjoyable morning for both grandmas and this grandpa!!
