aura repeats

     In the past year, if anyone remembers, we had a very similar aurę- fall in December. Could winter will come to us only in mid-January. January 14, 2014, the snow started and soon after quite a lot of frost from the sunny and windy weather. Well, we'll wait and see. In our forest is beautiful, and on 19 December was just the warmest + 12st. Around was quite green, not only because of pines and spruces, but different varieties of lush green moss and ferns. Air damp and smelled wonderful. Here are some pictures from my short trip.

the end of the colourful autumn

   Colorful autumn usually ends in the third week of October. Only a few trees still have some leaves. The days are getting shorter and more cloudy. For wildlife photographer this period is not attractive.  However, in this gray and gloomy landscape, you can see the beauty and bring out the mood.

walk and last mushrooming this autumn

  End of September and half of October usually fall colors enchant us. This year we were lucky to have a lot of sunshine and warm days.
     This is the best feeling when walking through the woods. Because of the relatively dry weather failed to collect a lot of mushrooms. We found a few yellow knights greens and bay boletes In the evening escalates smell of the forest, and there is a fine  mist. Photo was doing to remember the passing of beautiful autumn period.

The last butterflies this year.

Summer is over. Although the colors of autumn are visible, even butterflies find their flowers. Cool nights and mornings allow for departures until noon. I think it's my last butterfly of the year.

butterflies and butterfies

Months of June and July conducive to photographing butterflies. Meeting a variety of species you can choose the best shots. Only the wind is a serious obstacle. There are places where there is a large diversity and worth a visit several times at different times of the day. Here are a few from my last trip to the forest.

spotted flycatcher (Muscicapa striata) - caring mom

Every year I observe hatching gray flycatchers. It chooses its nest in very surprising places. First I noticed right outside the window of my apartment. Another time, at the entrance to the staircase in the housing of the lamp house number. This year saw two nests in the building residing in the recesses of the wall. I photographed one when Flycatcher was busy while providing food for almost an adult chicks that barely fit in the nest. The next day, before the noon they flew away

the metamorphose of the dragonfly

    May 22 was a wonderful weather. We went on a one-day trip to the lake Mikaszewo. Apart from swimming in the lake was catching fish on rod and photographing wildlife. On the shore of the lake in the grass, my wife noticed the metamorphose of the dragonfly from the larval stage into adult. We saw it for the first time. I prepared photographic equipment on long observation. I made a lot of pictures at the stage of transformation.Please note the change in appearance of the body and wings. Ton took about an hour and a half. Here are below the result of my work.

the spring returns

    We have an early and warm spring this year. The first visit on your favorite lake on April 22 was a success. Near the lake we noticed a pair of running and hiding around sowing birds the size of partridges. We were able to observe them with binoculars. There were a couple of Hazel Grouses. I've never met this bird in the wild. Lakeside noticed a lot of butterflies and especially pleased by me two species whose pictures published. In the next part of the clearing startled bird out of the socket. I looked and saw five eggs in the nest intricate. It was a blackbird eggs. Later came thunderstorm and decided to come back. On the way she met a storm of hail. Beautiful spring forest after a rain.
