I tried to make such shots in which there would be something that makes you look closely at the picture. It could be last year's leaf, surprisingly preserved on a birch branch, dried red Ligularia flowers with snow caps.
A strange deep blue winter sky reflected in the unfrozen stream. Icicles first appeared this winter. The days were not cold and snow began to melt during the day.
Today is my birthday. Time flies by, Life goes on. On this day I am used to meeting with my family and friends, but this year it is not possible. Therefore today I want to indulge myself to something tasty, a piece of cake and a glass of red wine.
Надежда, сердечно поздравляю с Днем Рождения! Здоровья, счастья, радости в дачно-садовых делах.
ReplyDeleteУ вас красивая зима на даче.
Лилии очаровательные.
Надежда, большое спасибо за поздравление.
DeleteСадово-дачные дела всегда радуют, надо только беречь свои силы.
Удачного дня.
Good morning dear Nadezda,
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday my friend and many healthy years ahead!!! Yes the way of celebrating a birthday is different from what we are used to do. Let's hope things get better very soon. Your garden looks beautiful with the snow.

Rosehugs Marijke
Dear Marijke,
DeleteI do hope things get better as well. Thank you very much for your kind words.
Have a nice day.
Hello dear Nadezda,
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to you! Yes, times flies by, and we all get older every year. That's the way it is. Beautiful photos of snow from your garden.
Enjoy your day!
Hugs!
Dear Marit, Thank you very much!
DeleteThe Earth spins and spins and we get older, it's true.
Our souls stay young.
Happy Birthday, dear Nadezda!
ReplyDeleteWinter is showing its real face this year, isn't it? Lot of snow and some really cold days!
You're right Tistou. This year winter shows its character, snow, light frost, cold days.
DeleteThank you!
Yes, it is.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, Nadezda. Enjoy your celebratory meal. The scenes you present look like what we all imagine of winter in Northern Russia in January.
ReplyDeleteWinters in Russia are different, climate changes. This winter is more or less similar to the average for St. Petersburg.
DeleteThanks, I really liked the chicken Caesar salad.
Muchas felicidades y que el año que viene podamos vernos por aquí. Tus fotografías están preciosas. Un abrazo.
ReplyDeleteTeresa, tengo el mismo sueño: vivir como antes, viajar y conocer lugares.
DeleteGracias!
Dear Nadezda!
ReplyDeleteMay your birthday and every day be filled with the warmth of sunshine, the happiness of smiles, the sounds of laughter, the feeling of love and the sharing of good cheer. Happy birthday my friend!

DeleteThank you for your congratulations.
Belated happy birthday, Nadezda.
ReplyDeleteI hope you got your piece of cake and glass of wine.
What wonderful winter snowscapes, in England snow is always short-lived and messy. I am always glad when it’s gone again.
I agree, Friko. I love it when the snow is gone, I always look forward to the arrival of spring.
DeleteThanks for your kind words.
Snow.... something that I couldn't find here. The lilies are so beautiful! So lovely, I really like it. Keep warm and healthy!
ReplyDeleteGlad you love snow Endah. I'd love to be on a beach and to see sun every day.
DeleteTake care of yourself!
aww....cold, but beautiful....
ReplyDeletegreat shots.
Have a wonderful day
Happy Monday, Tanza!
DeleteHappy Birthday, dear Nadezda! Beautiful winter images.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week! Take care.
Hugs!
Thank you Tania,
Deletehappy Tuesday, all the best to you.
My birthday is in January too. I realised I dislike January so much a few years ago that now I celebrate it later in the year. I think perhaps this year I will celebrate it in March, or perhaps April! Alas, it does not make me any younger to celebrate it later :) What time of year do your first spring bulbs generally start to show above ground?
ReplyDeleteI do not like January as well Jenny. Because it's cold. This year they are not allowed to visit any museum or gather with friends. I love your idea to celebrate my birthday later, I prefer May when my garden is in bloom :-)
DeleteThe first spring crocus and tulips start in April if the weather is warm enough here. It's always a happy event for me.
I was a little late but I send you my best wishes for your birthday, dear Nadezda !
ReplyDeleteI admire your winter pics!
Greetings
Glad you like those pictures, Ela.
DeleteThanks for kind words, it was a lovely day with my family.
Hugs!
