The forest is a bit flooded. We're not complaining.

This snek stuck its head out from beneath the leaves and wants to know if it's spring already. Our answer is "complicated".

The part of Poland we live in is about two weeks, climatewise, behind the rest of the country. It's not winter, but not yet really spring. We expect spring to come tomorrow, or the day after.

The #snake is Natrix natrix, European grass snake. The green plant in the upper left corner is Oxalis acetosella, wood sorrell, which was once used to make soups, salads, and refreshing drinks. We just pluck it and chew it and hope foxes didn't pee on it.

A storm is coming, but they're just calmly grazing. Like we all.

On a walk in Polesie National Park today. Luckily, despite great weather, there were no tourists.

Hundreds of years ago this small river, Mietiułka, formed the border between Lithuania and Poland.

Drinking dark water helps Bruno in keeping his fur beautiful and his soul perfectly dark.

#Polesie (#Polesia) żegna chłodno i nie zaprasza ponownie.

Masza is a good dog and she deserves to walk the green carpet (there are no red carpets in #Polesia)

#Wetlands inspectors. No good news – we're losing water.

This tree stood no chance against the ferocious #wetlands monster of #Polesia.

#Wetlands inspectors. Water levels on those meadows are falling quickly due to recently "improved" draining. This summer will be very dry.

Speeding is the main cause of plastic pollution on the rural roads of #Polesia :)

Heavy, aggressive traffic on the swamp road forced lighter participants to seek shelter up a tree.

I probably should have kept this for #ThickTrunkTuesday, but I see no reason we can't have a #ThickTrunkEveryday.

Swan meadow.

That's a meadow, not a lake, but they don't care how we name things. It looks like a lake, it barks like a lake.
