(So this is a foreign, also American, sanctioned plant ) I thought you had it growing there)
And these snowdrops are really very unusual, they have high peduncles, almost half a meter, now they are just sprouting, and you need to take into account that the ground there is much lower because the view covers the embankment with eremurus. Also, the flowers themselves are very large and so fragrant that they smell all over the balcony, and the leaves are almost three fingers wide and also very long. Probably some kind of polyploid hybrid. And he obviously liked it, because when I bought it last spring, there were three flowers, and now the fourth one has appeared

I also planted a few snowdrops last year with seeds that I collected at the factory, where we grow ordinary snowdrops, I was told that they are from the Crimea. And the seeds sprouted

Andreas, don't you have snowdrops in nature or in the fazenda? In theory, they should be, and they should already be sprouting, we now have street flowers that only managed to pop out of the ground a little before the cold snap, but you were warmer, they should have already grown just before the state of unopened buds, in the Crimea they write already bloomed in flower beds before the cold snap.

Sorry. I was at work in these frosts for only two days, and then when there were the warmest days) In the room all the time +27, especially with the film on the balcony, so it's hard for me to say how my tolerance to frost has changed, well, yesterday I went home on foot a few km. with wind and snowfall in the face and frost -5, it seems normal)
But psychologically, of course, they are hard and sad to bear, it's unusual, it seems that Spring is already in full swing, the sun is over 30 degrees and here it is. Well, at least there are clear days regularly, although yesterday it was overcast again all day, although it was warm (relatively!!!). Although, this has happened before, and it has been worse, especially when something like this happens in the second half of March - this is a complete poc!

Today I was walking down the street and thought, how can you walk at -30, Alex, how do you even move at this temperature?? Also with bronchitis? I don't seem to have bronchitis, but when the frost is about -10 and lower, sometimes a spasm of breathing occurs at first, the lungs refuse to breathe this air)

But starting tomorrow, it's going to be like Texas! In the sense that both they and we will start to warm up almost simultaneously, they will have +25 in the south next week, and we will only have +15, but we are on the way

I move my legs. After -30, slow down, so that your breath doesn't accidentally steal and you don't lose consciousness in the middle of the road. I try not to go far anywhere, mostly driving, but if on foot, then move closer to housing, shops, and businesses.
In general, winter half-sleep.
I was in the garden, the snow was removed from the greenhouse. Everything is very white, snow is piled up above the knee, in the greenhouse -10, on the street -16.Snow in the greenhouse is less and less. The street is sunny and quiet

I wonder how people managed to earn snow blindness en masse in the Arctic at the local height of the sun? Apparently, Pan Boyd has never seen a normal stream in his life, nor a normal snow cover in sunny weather

, of course, glasses should be worn, regardless of the elevation of the sun, if there is solid snow and absolute cloudlessness. Just like on the water or near the water, if the sun is in the front hemisphere. Otherwise, you can not only damage the eyes, but also the skin of the face. In addition to burns, there is also such an unpleasant phenomenon as photoaging. In general, polarizing sunglasses should be worn by any nature lover.

Alex, why aren't mantises sitting on the palm tree as I recommended? In any case, you can not drive either the female or the male. Except to uncouple it if things don't go according to plan. But as long as the female doesn't try to eat the male, you just have to watch patiently. Well, feed the female with tweezers. However, before that, she should be given at least a couple of hours to calm down, as well as the male. In general, mating mantises, as well as spiders, is not for the impatient.

We have warmed up to +5, but overcast and wet.

No, the bogomolikha doesn't twist her ass.
It may well be that you're not ready.
The photo is just for the sake of the photo. I couldn't take a picture of them together on the palm tree. No one chased them. The cockroach escaped from the tweezers, crawled on the female, she threw it off, and when repeated attempts were made to slip her a cockroach, she just crawled away. The male was just sitting there.
We don't wear sunglasses in winter.
Usually the snow is already dirty by this time, it doesn't blind you.
That stream flows from the CHPP! Everything else is frozen solid. On reservoirs, the ice layer is more than a meter long.
Sometimes we have snow in June. And in my memory, in June, at the beginning, it rained for three consecutive days, the temperature was about zero from below. All the trees were damaged, they were without leaves until half of the summer for sure. What year was it? Around 2003 or 4 or so. No matter how hard I try to remember, I can't. Exactly before I bought my first phone with a camera.
Spezhny cover, so that it directly piled up and lay in a thick layer of 10+ cm happens all April to May, I remember, on the 28th of April one year a lot piled up after the winter cover completely came down and the weather was up to +30 before the cold snap. And then such a blow. We were children, we tried swimming in the swamps before.
In general, we have a lot of winters, i.e. rollbacks to the cold weather in spring and sometimes in summer.

Well, it turns out yes, you have in terms of damage from UV is more dangerous, but I read that for such damage, in addition to the height of the sun, the time spent on bright snow is also important, and the cleanliness of the snow itself and its vastness, so in the city probably even in June you need to correct for soot and a short stay.

I saw snow here on April 20, at night! This is probably an absolute record for me, because I do not remember that in April I saw snow at all, maybe it was at night, but then everything was very cool and I knew earlier that it would snow) But it was gone before the sun rose. In early April, cold weather even down to -10 is quite common, but it occurs in the rear of southern cyclones from which rain falls. But so that it is a thick layer, it is in the 20s of March. In 2003, it seems to have been in 2012.

I found a very interesting sign, it is useful not only for determining the threshold for snow blindness, but also for determining the time for the coolest tan)
In general, this sign confirms my observations that at least some tan begins to appear only after 36 degrees.
And surprisingly, the sun rises to 67 degrees, and indeed, it is at the end of June and beginning of July that the most vigorous tan is, I am in the sun all day in the steppe, and I don't get burned, but even at this time it tingles, and the tan itself becomes such a "copper" color, and so it turns out that this is already 100% UV flow! And just at this time the biggest wasps fly

And the space for pictures has run out again.

It's strange that your jackdaws are so shy. In our country, they behave exactly the opposite. She keeps nesting year after year and successfully raises chicks in a tubular cell tower. right under the antennae

And after the departure of the young, huge flocks of jackdaws roam the courtyards and make a loud noise in the morning. And in terms of fearfulness, our jackdaws are inferior to rooks. In any case, I have photos where the jackdaw does not fit completely into the frame, which is more than I could do with any other bird except the swan.

I have all the manual lenses on Nex. In the last series of images, most of them were taken with the Noritsu minilab lens and a few were taken with Jupiter - 37A. The beautiful rowan trees are not mine, but Pan Stepovoi's, and his photos without HA were probably taken on another top-secret lens, about which he will not tell anyone. I have all the objects with HA. And the carcass of pan, as far as I remember , is a Diarrhoea G3.

By the way, yes, in general, Russian is a name applicable to people who inhabit both Belarus and Ukraine, and not just Russia. In these territories, such a community has developed historically. Therefore
, to add "Russophobia" in the event of a confrontation between Ukraine and Russia is simply stupid. Just like some national issues. In this case, everything is simple, at the head of today's Russia are the imperialists. And the empire is primarily wars, and the absorption of territories. And given what is happening in this new-found empire, how its periphery lives - many people in the surrounding countries somehow do not want to be absorbed in all this dryuchba and sotrutnichesovm. At the same time, some residents of Russia are beginning to simply burn with hatred for the" escaped " Ukrainians, Georgians, Moldovans, Belarusians, who for some reason do not want to go to this new-found prison of peoples, but wanted to live better, chose the European path, freedom and a society governed by the rule of law

I'm not even talking about the war and the seizure of territories as a way of "rallying the Russian people around the empire" and punishing those who dared to take liberties with neighboring countries, thanks to which today's Russia has created only wars and sorrow around itself.

And if the Soviet Department was so good, then why did EVERYONE leave it as soon as the opportunity arose, and before that, in order not to run away, they had to drive Russian tanks to countries that began to express a desire to free themselves?

Gentlemen, everyone is so smart, honest, brave, open and educated-yes, I forgot - biologists)) I'm wrong in opening the door to your fucking topic. You're used to humiliating each other here for fun, I understand; in a family way. I don't think anyone goes in here because it stinks. But I can't do that. This is not why I registered on this forum 100 years ago. I'm interested in nature, not your political shit. And to be honest, I'm not a historian, a sociologist, or a political scientist to argue with you on the same level. I'm nobody. But I really appreciate and respect you for understanding nature, insects, and taking such good photos. So I really don't want to lose contact with you, at least on a biological level. Especially with ENO, who appeals to me as a person, despite his rudeness and humiliation in my address. I would also like to ask your forgiveness, ENO, for the mutual abominations I have committed against you. I am ashamed. Forgive me please.
Think of me as a loser; but don't make up any nonsense about me, please, men. This is a woman's prerogative.
I hope to meet you in other relevant topics.
And, forgive me ENO, once again. I didn't seem to offend the others (the bot doesn't count).
Sincerely, Andreas.

Anlreas, you're throwing. What you like, what you don't like, what you stink, what you don't stink) Probably it is the weather that affects it, because in the eastern side it is certainly full of tin.
By the way, "100 years ago" was already quite different here, that's when I registered here 200 years ago - that's when it was cool

, Even the Orange Revolution somehow passed peacefully then, without bickering

And we have Spring in full swing

Spring moths flew out yesterday, snowdrops bloomed at work, and there are already two eremuruses

But with photos, alas, it is now difficult, all the sites that I knew as caches of images either do not work or with registration and restrictions like downloading one at a time.
