Finally, winter has graced us with its most beautiful charms, a crumb of snow.
Either she ran out of it, or she has turned in an impressive miser in recent years, winter cozy and fluffy wardrobe patiently sits and waits for it's turn (new hand knitted piece made by mom should arrive soon too), if only knew how useless it would be.
Green fresh moss, green hues of spring, what a trick and a great contrast as it peeps out under the thin white layer. We looked for owls that are snoozing above on the branches.
Perhaps the most snow remained on the street is between the two blocks of terracotta, part of a sculptural clay/wood work, though I'm not sure what message it sends. Nevertheless that's not what I'm here for, another nicely popping texture, sprinkled with snowy crystals.
The wind smells like frost, it brings a pleasant freshness,
Of the textures, only trampled wet leaves remain, the only scene that looks desperate after the snowy surprise.
Minus something, says the temperature, and the duck doesn't mind. This is the first time she got close to us; usually often hangs out at the other side of the channel and keeps away from the shore.
A kind of mandarin duck, soft beige and apparently single.
Floating around freely giving a bit of an expression that course is lost or she finally figured us getting so close and got frightened
There was no snow in sight around, and it would have been a perfect one, the frozen kingdom of miss mandarin duck.
Wind started to blow harder, and it seems that thanks to the warm winters in the past years, we have spoiled ourselves quite a bit, we both unanimously agreed that it was time to go home.
We also hoped for frozen dandelions, but the frost was not as strong, like everything is obviously somewhere in between, neither warm enough nor fairly cold, neither winter nor light clothing, not for boots, not for sneakers.
Winter, will you finally decide?
@monochromes, this is my entry for the #monomad challenge, thank you all for your time and interest in what I do.
that one is really really beautiful!! good photos !
Its one and only (same time fav) spotting bird photo 😅, glad it found its fans, thanks!
Minus something? It is already brrrrr for me 😁, but good for the duck as she doesn't mind and keeps swimming there :))
Just around - 3, really not THAT much cold comparing to how winters were. :D
I'll wonder for life how hers small feet doesn't freeze 🥶
It is much... here 😂
But I know, there is room for more cold. I remember one winter and its -20 while travelling to Budapest in the middle of the night hahaha. It was interesting 😂
-20 sounds interesting only next to the burning fire 😂 I am afraid we will have to adjust on mid winters in future, that confuses me a lot. 😳
Kako zima bez snega?
Istinu zboris.
Ali eto, postoje zime (tj mesta) bez snega. i to nikako nije fer hahaha
wrap up warm so you're not sneezing later, you're not a duck. 😅
The only thing I have common with ducks is quacking around. 😂
