Travels in Finland and abroad 
I had not known of this natural phenomenon before! So, it was very interesting for me. And thank you for including information in Japanese 🙂
Comment by T Ibara Photo — March 15, 2017 @ 08:17 |
Hi Takami.
I am glad that You noticed Japanese translations. This phenomenon is quite general in Oulu, but for example in Helsinki, I have seen them very seldom. Same situation was in Mikkeli – rare. Thank You commenting.
Have a good day!

I have seen these in Satakunta but never thought much about what they could be – thanks for the interesting post! You should write in Finnish sometimes also – I would like to read that 🙂

I have looked at the similar thing on the tree in Japan. This is a plant called a mistletoe. The mistletoe which I looked at may be different from your photograph.

Hello Wakashs15th.
Thank You telling this. This the first time, when I hear the name Mistletoe. Very interesting.

Mistletoe is commonly used in homes at Christmas. A wreath made of it hung above a doorway is a place for kissing. There is even a song written about it – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVIDSGsrWAc
Comment by Soul Gifts — March 15, 2017 @ 14:40 |
Hello Raili.
Mistletoe is not well known in Finland and kissing … In our trees, we have also Chaga mushrooms and Burles. Christmas wreaths in Finland are not made from Mistletoes
In this post, my wife shows how traditional Christmas wreath is made:
Snow and Christmas wreath .
Have nice day!
Comment by Sartenada — March 16, 2017 @ 11:16 |
Interesting post, and something new for me also. Is it another type of plant? Thanks!

I looked it up and learned that it’s a deformity caused by stress brought on by pests or disease, including the mistletoe mentioned above. Thanks again!
Comment by Marilyn Albright — March 15, 2017 @ 15:28 |
They look like pom-poms that a cheerleader would use. Maybe it’s the trees cheering for spring!

Oi Roberta.
Obrigado para o seu gentil comentário. Mikkeli é ainda hoje em nossas mentes. Na próxima semana, voltaremos para Helsínquia depois de passar dois meses em Oulu. Lembre-se que em junho, há carnavais de Samba em Helsínquia. 🙂
Samba em Helsínquia.
Beijos e abraços. Matti.

First time I have seen witches broom.. at first sight I thought it was mistletoe but looking closer I know it wasn’t for mistletoe is green and leafy. There’s lots of mistletoe here where we live, it even flowers. I saw something new ( thank you)and also read that mistletoe isn’t only for kissing.. who’d of thought of that! 😁

You have certainly captured a large number of wind nests. You have many more than we have around here.

Hello George.
Yes, we have a lot of them, but I have noticed that they be found on our coastal areas. Thank You.

wind nests, nice name!
interesting!
thank you for Japanese answer, if no Japanese I misunderstand these are bird’s nest
Comment by kanaconnie — March 15, 2017 @ 17:25 |
Hello Connie.
I am glad that You loved my idea to translate into Japanese. Winds nest or in Finnish “tuulenpesä”, comes from that they are very similar to nest which birds have abandoned after nesting. Many thought that the wind collected some brushwood together, but it is not correct.

Are you aware there is a widget you can add onto your side bar that is Google Translate. Using this means you do not have to write your blog in different languages.
Comment by Tasmanian traveller — March 16, 2017 @ 00:37 |
Hello Tasmanian traveller.
Yes, I am. Google is not translating everything correct. Many words have different meanings and to select the correct one is important. Usually, I check singular and plural, the word family, the family of the adjective, as well as singular and plural of adjectives, verb forms, when must be used, for example subjunctive or preterite and not to forget syntax. Translation is a hobby for me! Thank You commenting.
Have a good day!
Comment by Sartenada — March 16, 2017 @ 13:47 |
Me parece una serie de imágenes muy bien hechas y muy representativa de esos nidos que crea el viento. Yo creo que todos hemos podido apreciar en los árboles desnudos estas formaciones que no responden a nidos de aves. Pero también he de decirte que nunca había visto tantos.
Muchas gracias, como siempre, un placer visitar tu blog.

Hello Matti, I had to take a second and closer look as at first sight I thought it was mistletoe. But there are differences and thanks to your close ups I could see that you were presenting witches broom. ^^ Here in Germany we call them “Hexenbesen” or even “Donnerbüsche”.
Up to now I have not yet seen them by myself but only in books. Thanks for showing!
Have a nice weekend!

Comment by ladyfromhamburg — March 18, 2017 @ 18:57 |
Hello Michèle.
Thank You for Your kind comment. I love those names in German. It is always interesting to read how different people name same things with different words / names. Ours is “Tuulenpesä” meaning literally Winds nest. 🙂
Happy new week.
Comment by Sartenada — March 20, 2017 @ 08:36 |
Very interesting. We observe lots of witch brooms in Norfolk as well as in the Rhine Valley. We’ll take a closer look tomorrow after reading your post. 🙂

Maybe You have seen them in Finland. I have seen them, but occasionally, thru my life and now in Oulu, I have seen them “everywhere”. 🙂

Bonjour Maly.
Cela semble étrange. J’ai remarqué qu’il y a eu des changements dans WordPress. J’ai eu des problèmes pour mettre de nouvelles photos de nouveaux articles. Comment déposer des photos dans un nouveau message n’a pas été facile pour moi. Heureusement, j’ai déjà les cheveux gris! 🙂 Bises.Restez en sécurité et en bonne santé!
