Loneliness of an ice walker.
The velociraptors of #Polesia – not so fast, not so vicious, but very cute.
J'y suis, j'y reste!
Yes, the #wetlands are a bit sloped, but water won't flow out of the picture because it is still frozen.
Pietruszka. She shares at least 80% of her DNA with squirrels.
I left some post stamps on my desk. I forgot that some of the #IdąPsięta dogs can climb on top of a tiny doghouse standing next to my desk. Guess someone won't get their postcards. [the two mauled stamps commemorate an old Polish comic book series "Kajko and Kokosz" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kajko_and_Kokosz]
I wonder what made this hole – there were a few of them in the area. Vuko didn't try to dig so I assume whatever it was it isn't below that ice but just walked away :)
Oops. The ice wasn't strong enough.
Today was quite warm – around 3°C – but this ice is very strong, and even if it broke there's no more than 30 cm of water under us. And we're just a few hundred metres from our warm house.
W usually cannot walk among those trees – most of the time the ground is flooded. So the only chance is either when the water freezes, or when we have a very dry summer. Unfortunately the latter happens more frequently now.
Bruno, the oldest and wisest of the whole #IdąPsięta pack, doesn't think it's a good idea to walk on ice.
Today is probably the last day we can walk on frozen wetlands meadows near our house. Coming days will bring rain and higher temperatures and then we'll have to wait weeks before everything here dries.
Take example from New Zealanders – a cyclone is approaching so they cancelled fights. Either that, or #CNN fired everyone in quality control

#Wetlands inspection. Water levels are fine, but it's too warm for this time of the year.
