Podlasie village in a winter robe

The view of the Podlasie village in the winter season evokes nostalgic memories of my childhood. As I remember, I spent a lot of time outside. I rode my ice on homemade sledges and skating on ice. As soon as the snow fell, we played snowballs, sledged down the hill, and then went skiing on our own. Often, I returned home in the dark. As much as I could, I also helped at home felling trees in the forest for firewood. 60 years ago, winters were regularly with snow and frost. Here are some pictures of the winter village.

and we have winter

And we have real winter with snow and frost. It started with snowfall on January 18 in the evening. It is true that the snow is not too much, but in the woods skiing is very good to walk. The last days are getting colder. The sun shines from time to time and beautiful frost appeared on the trees. I usually visit almost the same places to photograph. Here are the first pictures of the walk on a sunny day.

will winter come to us yet?

It could be said that December was rather autumn. There was no temperature lower than -3C. What awaits us in the New Year? So far, the forecasts do not predict either cold or snow. When it is sunny outside, it is pleasant without snow and the mood is joyful. Unfortunately, most days are cloudy, often with rain or sleet. A bit longing for a real snowy and sunny winter. However, road conditions for drivers are very good. Birds in such a mild weather are not very focused around feeders. Here are some photos from the first days of 2018.
