In the beginnig of this summer me and my family had a trip to the Russian countryside.
This place is located in the Reapublic of Bashkortostan - not so small Russian region.
The name of this village is not so important because there are much places like this in this region. And we seen them from afar off the road.
There are many fields around this village. In some fields grass grows to feed cattle. In other fields, wheat grows.
Among the fields, as a rule in the ravines are forest groves. A lot of birches grow in this place.
In one of these groves we stopped to have a picnic.
While my family was organizing a picnic, I wandered through this grove with a camera. I suggest you look at the pictures that I got.
At first I decided to make here such an original picture with the reflection of a birch grove.
Then I went around and I found different interesting things.
Here's a funny yellow flower.
Here in the grove lay fallen birches.
On these birches mushrooms tinderweed grew. These fungi are very harmful to trees. They say that in ancient times people used to fire with their help.
And there were stumps from the cut birches. On these stumps is its own macro world in which life is boiling. The main actors here are ants.
Walking through such places allows you to look at our life differently. And there are several reasons for this. Firstly, during such a walk, we find ourselves closer to the real nature and can see what we do not see in everyday life. Secondly, we can look at how people live outside of big cities. How people grow food, grow cattle, still cook food in ovens. And most importantly - they are in no hurry.
