No one wanted to go on this walk, but once we started it was quite refreshing. #IdąPsięta #Polesia #wetlands

Old #dog, old trees, old snow. #IdąPsięta #DogsOfMastodon

For those who don't know our pack of #dogs, #IdąPsięta, here's a simple explainer of their characters. Two works referenced here might be unknown to many outside of Poland: Sienkiewicz's Trylogia is a historical saga set in the 17th century, Czterej Pancerni i Pies is a communist-period book and a tv series about four tankers and a dog during WW2.

When we walk with Bruno we don't pick tough paths. Now we could take an old, abandoned road through the forest. Some of the trees that grow on this road are at least 20 years old. Older fallen trees often block the way. Some of #IdąPsięta jump over them, some walk under. #DogsOfMastodon #Polesia #forest #wetlands

Guess who decided that going on a long walk in this weather is a very bad idea. It's around 0°C, humid, cloudy, the snow is very wet. There's a lot of metal in one of his legs, following an accident years ago, and he picks only good weather for longer walks. #IdąPsięta #DogsOfMastodon #Polesia

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

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

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

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.

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

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

We don't expect any visitors. Our #dogs, #IdąPsięta, are happy.
