Snowy matter.

With all the lovely fresh winter weather, I have hardly left the house with my camera in hand. In fact, I've hardly left the house. Even today on a beautiful sunny Sunday I only left to go to the pool to swim! God, what has happened to me. Not being able to run has really put me down. It used to be a great reason to get out of the house. But here are a few of the winter pics I have taken. It would appear there aren't going to be any more snow photos this year.... fingers crossed.

Zamek path. 

Very lightly snowed angels.

You certainly need a path to the bin. That is an environmentally friendly path!

Dusted dudes.

You gotta love....

Dear Straż Miejska, I don't think this car is moving.....

Even the birds weren't happy with this.

I do love a snow trail though. 

So now we have this instead.

Buds slowly coming forth 

Bridges in the sun

And glowing bolts.

Warsaw in February Day #8

I have been a little lackadaisical of late with the blog, moving house, festive seasons, trying to organise the new year of classes and time has just flown by. So, I thought I'll look at posting one photo a day through the month of February (yes, I was smart enough to chose the shortest month). Most will be taken on the day itself, but as time and space won't permit me everyday to lug around the camera there will probably be some sneaky days slipping in there from other days (all in February though).

Here is day:

#8

Snowtown

The Thaw I Saw Was More Than Warsaw.

The thaw has begun. The thaw is actually a distinct season here in Poland where as to an Australian it really isn't something that we know about. It is when all the horrid snow and ice melts away and reveals the grass still there, except, with a covering of dog fertiliser, all the bottles drunks have lobbed into snow drifts and maybe the odd lost mitten. Well, in fact, in Wawa it is already over. The rest of the country is well on its way. Next stop, shorts and white legs into the world. No doubt, with a smattering of socks and sandals! Hoorah for sunshine, hoorah for spring, hoorah for all the great new foods I will eat!

All these photos are from Podlasie

Christmas, Chrimbo, Wigilia.

I am obviously a little late.... like only a month or so.... ok, maybe two. But Christmas posts by everyone in the world are now over, so only the lazy are available to give you such pleasures. Enter me!

The drive back in -20C

Plenty of snow in the east, and cat prints.

It looks so clean and crisp

Look at the snow fly

it must be lunch time, the sun is going down.

The day was too much for some.

All Christmasy creative

Don't forget the annual gingerbread house.

The most amazing gingerbread loaf with blackcurrant jam filling! Yum!

The sweet quartet. Gingerbread loaf, and gingerbread house, right is a cheesecake and centre is a plum and pudding cake.

Sorry it was late. Next I am sure New Years will pop up!
