St.Petersburg - winter etudes with kidz and tits (13 photos)

Do you miss winter? Personally, I dont! But of course, I'm looking forward to the day when the first snow will fall. It's always interesting to go outside and look closely at the city that day ... through the camera's viewfinder.

Our golden autumn ended a week ago - some trees are still yellow, but most of them are bare, and dead leaves have already been raked into large black bags. We are exposed to rains, rains... and cold grey skies. Now nature is not pleasing with its appearance, in general ... to decorate the city, now only winter can offer something.

That's why I decided to check out my catalogs with last year's winter photos today. No, I don’t miss winter at all! I just love variety. And I've got loads of unpublished pictures from last season. So,-- why not?

With all this global warming shit, we've got more choppy weather then ever. The snow tends to melt right in the middle of winter, on any day! Yesterday you played snowballs and skated from the icy hills, and today you have to wear rubber boots so as not to get your feet wet.

When there is no decent snow for three years in a row, you cannot even get a couple of decent snowballs - the younger generation of children does not know what snow is! They don't know how to play snowballs, they don't build snow fortresses, they don't create snowmen ... Fortunately, last year Santa Claus still poured snow for us, and the children rejoiced in him like rabbits to clovers ... and I enjoyed taking pics.

My baby and I love to go to the park to feed the birds. Although we have not built a single bird feeder so far ... there are so many other people's feeders hung in the park that there is no need to do another - the main thing is to fill them with bird food. We usually feed the birds with sunflower seeds, millet and bread crusts.

The most interesting thing is to feed the tits - they prefer bacon among other delicacies. One can hang bacon on a rope from a branch, hide around with the tele-lens and wait. It is much more interesting (and picturesque!) to observe feeding of the tits than pigeons or shy swift sparrows. My daughter prefers to feed the sparrows ... last summer, by the way, she fell in love with bacon - and now she will never give it to the tits, she would rather prefer to keep it for herself!
