The first signs

The daylight is becoming more and more prolonged. Birds are becoming loud and active. It's not the spring itself yet, but the first signs of it. Wish it's getting warmer soon.

Frosty winter

It's wonderful, all around has covered with hoarfrost! It's -24C outside. All is white, looks like fairytale. Sun is shining through the tiny snowflakes that fills the air. In fact, they are not snowflakes but ice dust, which the air moisture turned into. Pictures can't reproduce the beauty of nature and of the city around me, but can give some impression.

 

Dog roses are espesially wonderful:

Winter has come

It's snowing all the time. All things around look different, and it's become lighter in the streets because of snow.

A couple of days ago there were some ducks swimming in the city channels, but today there is no one. I wonder where they could fly and whether they have stayed in city.
Here is an autumn picture of ducks at the channel. Female one is a master of diguise )

By the way, it's time to count down to Christmas. Let's start! To begin with, I'd offer an everyday concentration on positive thoughts and things. There are lots of them around! Look: snow, windows shining bright, smells of vegan cooking, smiles, happy family... And eating sweets and chocolates of course!

White Halloween!

Have you ever seen snow on Halloween??
It has been snowing all night and snowdrifts emerged! Nature goes mad... Here are today's pictures.

The first snow

It was snowing yesterday night and this morning snow was still on paths and grass. Winter is coming - can it really be true? The air is so clear and chilly!  I like the weather, it's not too cold and no sleet at the same time. And it brings the thoughts of Xmas and New Year)
 I took some pictures of snow.
