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.

  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.

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.

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

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
