It was chilly, windy and cloudy. The last snow fell on April 2. Suddenly spring came. On April 14-16, the temperature exceeded +20 degrees and everything around the greenery. In the woods, anemones and liverworts bloomed, and on wet marshy meadows - marsh marigolds.
Taking a good photo is not easy. The light and density of the fog changes and is different in different places. When I found myself in the forest, I was disappointed because there was no fog at all. In the field and on the river, thick as milk and bushes frosted after the morning frost. It is interesting to use in such short and long focal length conditions. The photo session ends when the fog is spreading.
Until 7 March we had winter weather. There was snow and frost, and you could even go skiing at the edge of the forest. Returning from the last winter trip, we stopped at the sight of a beautiful sky after sunset. There is silence here in the countryside at this time, and people are preparing for supper. When the snow comes down, everything will be gray around it, and still far away to the spring greenery.
A wave of frost came to us at the end of winter and as it turned out across Europe. The low amount of snow and the wind intensify the feeling of coolness, especially when the entire winter was so mild. I do not like that aura. Nothing changes, and the sky is almost completely blue. Such conditions for the photographer are not attractive, but you always have to try something. Here are my last photos.
During the current capricious winter, we often have thaws, new snowfalls and floods of rivers. I am attracted to photographing the landscape in the fog. It is difficult to predict the result, because the fog changes from dense to transparent. The sun is once invisible and it is completely gray, it is again lightly breaking through the fog. Not every place is good for photography, and time is limited by changing conditions. A lot of photos are unsuccessful, but there are interesting results and it is worth trying.
After the last thaw, when the snow completely melted, we are back winter again. First, some snow fell, then came the frost and further slight snowfall. It is not known how long this state will last. It is the month of February and the days are getting longer and the sun is shining higher and higher.The village of Podlasie is becoming depopulated. Almost the same pensioners live in the countryside. There are few farms that are growing. The rural view is nostalgic, a little sad, but the least changed.Winter in February is always more cheerful. Here are some photos from my surroundings.
