Queen of the bog. Just for a while. All this water will disappear in the summer. This place could remain wet all year round, but this would mean a financial loss for local farmers, so it is constantly drained. And when drought comes, the government will provide some superficial aid. #Wetlands #DogsOfMastodon #IdąPsięta #Polesia

Masza: Hold my beer.

Bruno: No way I'm getting into the water. It's freezing

There was no snow left today, but we found some hair ice – an infrequent phenomenon most likely caused by #fungi – Exidiopsis effusa. Don't try to pronounce its Polish name: Łojówka różowawa. You might not recognize your tongue afterwards.

There's more water here than usual. But there are less trees than before. At least #IdąPsięta have a playground. #DogsOfMastodon #wetlands

They look good now, but I wonder how our #wetlands will survive the coming summer.

Unfortunately this only works in Polish language.

The last patch of snow. #Polesia #IdąPsięta #DogsOfMastodon

It looks like a squirrel, climbs like a squirrel, barks like a squirrel. Weird things in the #forests of #Polesia.

Still guarding the snow, good boy.

Dark, wet, and gloomy, like proper #wetlands should be. Spot the dog. No, her name is not Spot. It's Masza. #IdąPsięta #DogsOfMastodon

Stealing this excuse for not making any New Year's resolutions. https://xkcd.com/2576/

We should start every day by visiting our neighbor. #Polesia

Helping our neighbor. The pine in her yard broke a few days ago under the weight of snow. Such work requires precision. Note that the colors of the cap and the chainsaw match almost perfectly.

Found some half-frozen chanterelles in the forest, but left them in place. We still have lots of them in our freezer. Delicious. #Fungi

Another day, another walk through our neighborhood. #IdąPsięta #DogsOfMosstodon #DogsOfMastodon #Wetlands

This power pole is fifty or sixty years old. Made of reinforced concrete, it holds up the wires that bring electric power to our house. If it fails it will be replaced by a plastic pole, and I have no idea how long it would last. Guess we have to go completely off-grid. #Polesia #IdąPsięta

Bruno, guardian of the snow. He'll be very unhappy when it all disappears. Very little snow is left now near our place, but there are still some larger patches at southern edges of meadows, where tree shade protects it a bit from the sun. #IdąPsięta #DogsOfMastodon
