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.

encounter with a wild boar

    Yesterday we were on our river. The weather was great, it was warm and no wind, and the light before sunset wonderful. Surprisingly, from alder big boar rushed out and ran towards the river. Quickly I began to prepare the camera to photograph him. Boar came to the river, a little there sniffed and quickly returned back to alder. I went to take pictures. Near the grazing deer and drew attention to the wild, but do not run away.
Here are a few photos from this short trip.

birch juice is healthy

    It is already time to collect birch juice. Almost a year ago I posted photos of instructing how to do this. Here's a link to this post:    Time for birch juice

Enjoy and health.
   Spring accelerated and bloom spring flowers still quite modest, but enjoy their view.

    It is the last photo, it flowers on the branches of a large tree. As you can see flowers appear long before the leaves. I do not know the name of this species. Can someone help me?

first butterflies this spring

    Today we have a wonderful sunny and warm weather. While walking I watched the birds. Flew quite low key big wild geese, and just then a couple of swans flew with a great noise overhead.
     On the path next to the wood saw from afar first yellow butterfly (Common Brimstone). This species first appears in the spring. A little later I noticed a pair of orange butterflies. Those were the Small Tortoiseshell (Aglais urticae L.), which I later recognized when they were sitting on the ground. It was a really pleasant morning walk.

fog - the mysterious phenomenon

     Fog. Interesting and at the same time mysterious phenomenon. Suddenly we see the front plan, and continued as blurred outlines and further still only white. If you even vaguely begin to pierce the sun's rays, the reflected light is unusual. Photographer notice it immediately. In the year there is a lot of such opportunities, so you might not miss the weather. Photographed in such conditions is not easy. What is important is foreground, and of course the composition of the frame as usual. Here are some pictures from that the shooting.
