Hello photography lovers! Thanks to the contest offered by 
SPRING
Blooming alley in the village where we came to celebrate Easter with my father, who lived here alone for the second year after my mother's death ... Granddaughter's eyes and tears in her eyes ...
A swallow that flew to the windowsill of our old house at that time when we were sitting there painting Easter eggs. It's as if our grandmother's soul came to us!
My favorite mountain in front of the garden, somehow amazingly painted at sunrise in orange! This only happens in the spring!
The first visit to the pine forest after the coronavirus, and I lay exhausted on the ground, sniffing these fantastic red branches of a Christmas tree that someone threw away after the New Year, and this picture filled me with the power of the Earth.
And Darinka, full of energy, climbed a pine tree )))
And then there was an unexpected gift from my son - a trip to the Ukrainian Carpathians, to the charming Skhidnytsia.
Here is a view from the window of a hotel room, where a fast-flowing mountain river runs and carries the energy of the mountains.
One day we walked along the river and found a wilderness where there were many stones overgrown with red moss and green lichens. Spotted stone! This is a unique phenomenon that I rarely meet in nature and it is remembered.
There were swings that stood close to the river. When my Darinka was rocking, I caught a shot of her flying over the river :)
And this is a shot from the first walk of our cat Ed Gray, after he came from a city apartment to the village. And my Darinka intended to walk with him in a suit and on a leash ))) But the cat did not share these intentions and was not delighted with this walk!
SUMMER
Here came the daisy summer with rains and mosquitoes :)
A flower in a drop of water - do you like it?
All summer we rode on scooters and it was a frenzy of the flight of the beautiful forest glade! Every night we had an evening walk! When I look at these shots, I feel a strong nostalgia. This is a place of remembrance for my late parents. Everything passes ...
She achieved mastery and even danced on scooters and run with the kite :)
Sunset on the track near the pine forest and a photo shoot of my girls :)
The cumulus clouds this evening were especially beautiful.
Cape Adjiask is the place where the Earth meets the sea. Extreme, dangerous and austere beauty!
And my dear photographer standing on the edge of the abyss!
My daughter Victoria found this place and we went there for the first time.
Walking on the beach knew this masterpiece tower of stones :)
Blue lagoon and dry purple flowers growing on the stones...
Amazing clay rocks burning at sunset! I could write about this place for a long time, but these photos do not need to be described. Just enjoy!
And autumn began with a trip to Turkey and there is the first unforgettable experience of flying in a hot air balloon!
We sat on the bridge, looking at this fantastic turquoise sea, where a variety of fish were swimming.
They were so happy to be there!
AUTUMN
And when we returned, my favorite time in Ukraine was the golden autumn. And these giant mushrooms - umbrellas, trophies that Darinka found in the woods in front of our garden on this orange spring mountain, and now it was golden!
You look: it's the size of Darinka's head!
These gifts of autumn are truly unsurpassed!
WINTER
And so we moved into our new home. This is a view from our balcony. We have been making repairs since March 2021. And so the house was born 9 months later :)
This snow-white winter is also like a gift from heaven!
I would like to be protected by these snowballs from pain of this world!
HAPPY NEW YEAR to you!
