and this is the second snow this winter

Winter is capricious this year. The first snow fell and soon it was melting. Next autumn days, wet and very cloudy. Here is the second snow and also very wet. The positive temperature is slowly melting. Hence misty and gray. Here are some photos from a trip to the forest. Few tracks of animals have been noticed.

short trip just before sunset

The weather is unchanged. Positive temperature, no snow. The view was pretty bleak. However, I try to show some colors of autumn winter in this situation.

Deers are doing well

Winters can hardly be seen and the deer are doing well. They have enough food and they do not suffer from cold. Recently, the amount of deer has significantly decreased in my area. That is why it is very nice to meet deer grazing in fields and meadows. What else to notice, and what else to get them to photograph well. Be sure to approach the shortest possible distance. These animals are shy. It is good to do it by car, but only when the road passes nearby. Sarny are not really frightened when the car passes by. In this way, with favorable conditions, I took a few photos. It is a pity that the light was scarce and it was not possible to get a good exposure.

first snow

On the last day of November the first snow started to fall this winter. The precipitation was very abundant. He covered roads, fields and forests. Trees under the weight of wet snow began to break. This caused electricity line breakdowns almost all over the country. At a positive temperature, it melted and already on December 2, there was not much left. A lot of water has been created, which does not soak into the soil anymore. Cloudy and short days do not bring a pleasant mood. You should wait for the winter clear days. Only when they come?
Shooting with this aura is a challenge for a photo amateur. You can not expect great colors in the soft light.

still in autumn

November is the late autumn. Almost all trees have lost their leaves. There are frequent frosts, but not this year. Very abundant rainfall provided a high level of groundwater. This month there was only 3 days of sunny weather. I used it for a brief outing in the area to take some photos. During the foggy weather you can get good pictures, but there were no such conditions.

and the golden autumn is still going on

This time only briefly. This is not the most beautiful autumn, because the warm weather was not enough here in Podlasie. As long as the golden leaves fall from the trees, it is beautiful.

wet and cold this our autumn

We have a cold and wet autumn. The leaves are beautifully stained on many trees, but for the beautiful views there is no sun. Weather is like the last days of October. There is hope that it will still be warmer and sunny. Most of the birds flew to warm countries and only wild geese did not decide to fly. On the fields there are still corn here and there, and new winter wheat crops. After abundant mushrooms in the forest you can still find a bit. Here are some photos from my neighborhood.

the rain is falling and it is raining

We had quite a lot of rain in the summer, but in September it was almost raining every day. For many years there was not as much rainfall. In the forest was a great mushroom. It would have been a bit warm and sunny weather. We have grown accustomed for over a dozen years to warm and even very dry autumn. Such weather is not very conducive to nature photography. Yesterday after the rain I went for a walk and I took some pictures and it started raining again.

time for cranberries

This year is completely different. The amount of precipitation per year is huge. We have a great mushroom fungus for this reason. The beginning of September is the time of harvest of cranberries. This wild-growing mud is the most salty and sought after. There are few places where you can collect it. The Biebrza Valley in the Lipsk area contains many places where you can collect cranberries. Wetland density is exceptional after many dry years. So the harvest is much more difficult, but the berry is exceptionally prosperous. You should be able to search for it and with experience we will be able to pick up these unique berries. The health benefits of cranberries are easily learned from the internet. As this berry grows, you can look at the pictures. It must be said that if we get to the favorable weather, this expedition will bring on additional pleasures.
