Let's enjoy this pool while it's still here.

Our #wetlands are drying out. Only a few days ago this meadow was partially covered with water. The white patches in the picture were green algae, growing in flooded spaces between clumps of tall grass.

A small dog for scale.

Looks like this would make a perfect #smoothie, but Masza just sniffed it and walked away.

Taking the dogs for a swim in in the forest.

Now Masza will smell of mud, and so will our bed.

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.

Bathing beauties.

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.

Their eternal mission: leave no puddle undisturbed.

I have an urgent deadline, so I will gladly answer any questions you might have about living in the #wetlands of #EasternPoland

Mam pilny deadline, więc chętnie poodpowiadam na wszelkie pytania o życiu w #mokradła Polski Wschodniej

When driving on #RuralRoads it is good to have an experienced pilot who will risk their life to lean out the window and guide you between the potholes when your windshield is covered with #mud.

Bruno, king of the #bog.

The only way to get this hydrophobic dog to wash its dirty paws is to throw a stick into water.

Living on the edge in the #wetlands of #Polesia.

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