.. where Ikea and Undu find Angel in the snow and take fotografs

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!

now, here comes the fotografs of me, Undu and Angel, as i promised. if you have been reading this blog, then you know that i like to play hide-and-seek with my friend Angel. but if we want to have fun, then we can’t play it too often. because you see, at home, Angel usually always hides in the bamboo basket  and i usually know he hides there. so, Angel was very exited to play with me outside, especially in the snow, which he, somehow, likes a lot. i had just got another friend, Undu, so three of us went outside on our trip near Pärnu. Angel was supposed to hide, then Undu was to go seek him and then i had to find them both. so, here we go, on this first fotograf, you can see Angel hiding somewhere in the bushes:

and here on these next ones, this is Undu going to investigate, who’s threre. see if you can find Angel on this second fotograf:

i have to tell you it was about -20*C outside, so Undu has his sheep-costume all zipped up to his teeth.

now here, it’s me contemplating a move. because it was all snow and no sheep costume for me, i had to run very quickly. in fact i ran so fast that there are no fotografs of me actually getting there, i’m afraid.

on this fotograf, i have taken Undu’s sheep-hat and he is trying to get it back, hehe!

then, after all that good fun game, we also took some other fotografs in the sun. like for example on these next two i am checking out this shadow of mine. i like the shadows, as you know, a lot. although i have to tell you, it is not easy to catch them, especially when they are behind you. i tried.

so, what was going on here. it’s a funny game actually that Undu was telling me about. There is this old Estonian saying (as you migth have guessed, Undu is born in Estonia, so he knows these things much better than me) that “Lume all on peidus võit, kraabi siit!” which in English means something like “There is a prize under the snow, scratch here” or something. so, here we are playing this game or scratch. however, no luck with prizes. maybe next time! so, thanks for stopping and cu l8er!

..where Ikea is watching Rally in the snow

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!

it seems to me that the post about angel in snow has to wait a little. because for the last week i have been travelling in South-Estonia and doing other fun things. like for example, on Saturday, i went to watch the Võru Rally in lots of cold weather and snow. they tell me it was something like -25*C, so that’s pretty cold, i guess…

so then, i took some fotografs as well. i have to tell you i was in two places. first i was in a with some proffessional-looking latvian foto people. i did not understand a word. apparently latvian is totally different from anything we, giraffes, speak. so, here i am, waiting for the rally cars to come:

(u can see some fotografers also on this one).


and, here we go, here is a car with flashlights! i like the flashlights of this one, because they are orange, like me. jei!
now, here comes a series of fotografs of this one car that came closest to the snow wall i was sitting on. you’ll see i was totally covered with snow afterwards! there was so much snow that it covered the sun for a while. interesting.




so, here’s also a red car. i liked this one because it’s red and it did not block the sun like some others. somehow, the sun has also got stuck on the telefone pole or something, hehe.


so, this is actually where the cars came from. so you can watch them like a long time. apparently for some of these cars it took so long to drive this road that i fell asleep while watching. so later i went back to my old spot. but take a look at this funny figure. thece icelets are really cool. especially on my tongue :P but look at these shades, hehe!

like i said, some cars were quite slow. so in between the cars there was plenty of sun outside for me to try one of my other hobbies – sunbathe – in this sunny cold weather. it’s nice!

Later on, we went to this other place to see, how many cars were lucky to get to the final stage at this other . you can see those fotografs and many more from Tuuka on this . i have to tell you that when all cars finished, it was already night outside, so i had to check if my camera still works:

hehe :) cu l8r!
