the colors of the forest in February

     This year we have a unique winter. By mid-January was autumnally, then almost three weeks snow, freezing and windy. Next week a pleasant mild winter, then thaw and little snowfall and rain. Now, almost no snow is foggy and gray. Even in this weather, you can take a walk through the woods nicely. Pictures taken in this weather tend to be beautiful and romantic. Although it has no leaves in the forest, you can see many colors.

Robin and severe winter

With sewage treatment plant flows a stream of warm water. At the same stream during the icy wind and a temperature of about -17 degrees I noticed a tiny bird - robin. These birds fly away in the fall, and this one was and trying to survive the very harsh winter. It was difficult to photograph, because they hide among the dry stalks of weeds and bushes. It was the only place where he could still be alive.

sudden return of winter

       We have an interesting weather this winter. There was no frost or snow until January 14. Earth was not frozen, the verdant grass, and even some flowers bloomed. There was a very short-lived snow for three days from December 5.You can see how the landscape looked even 11 January.
       Suddenly, it snowed, and then grabbed frost. Nagging wind intensifies the feeling of coolness. The photos were taken just before sunset Jan. 19. It was going to be another frosty day with the temperature below 12 degrees Celsius.

my first post this year

My best wishes for New Year to all who look it here, as it is the first post in this year.

This year, it wasn't the winter weather. No snow and frost from autumn is remarkable. This is the autumn landscape.We go for walks, even in bad weather. We bring binoculars, a camera sometimes. We meet very occasionally birds, but roe deers encounter almost every time. Sometimes they are quite close. Near the river you can always see one flock, but often several. Here are some pictures from the last walk.

when winter comes

Already ends in December, and the landscape around autumn. The temperature at night is even positive. Many plants are still green. Even nice to take a walk, the air is humid and smells permeated the forest. Sunshine moments are few and days are the shortest of the year. About hrs. 15.00 in the forest there grow dusk.

unpleasant surprise

     As usual, we went to our lake at the end of November. The weather was suitable for swimming .. It was empty and silent, and extremely humid. Though there is no long green views were stunning. When we approached the water did we have a very unpleasant surprise. Everywhere on the surface of the water was blue-green from blue-green algae. We went to the banks but everywhere was the same. The end of the bath. Until next year.
