There has been no point in looking for the sun in recent days, and the forecasts are not optimistic either. As I write this text, snow is falling outside the window. Inspired by the purchase of a new burrow, I planned to try out the new equipment on the lake…

In mantis paradise
As I wrote a few days ago, I visited a certain meadow where I found 2 mantises. I was very happy at the time, because it was a new place and finally there were no insects on these invasive goldenrods. Besides, during my first encounter with a praying mantis 4…

Ducklings
Young ducks can make even the toughest guy feel emotional. Once again I visited one of the parks in Łódź, where I saw little ducklings during my previous visit. I wanted to check how they are growing and what they are doing. And it turns out they are doing very…

Anomalous attack of spring
No one expected hepaticas, anemones and coltsfoot to bloom at the end of February. The fact that we can admire them already at the turn of February and March is an unprecedented situation. Unfortunately, these types of changes in nature are not something that should make us happy, because they…

Bird migrations
This year, spring migrations can be observed exceptionally early. It’s still February, and water dominates the landscape on Słudwia River in Złaków. What’s happening in the air is dizzying. Thousands of geese and cranes, flocks of lapwings and other plovers, and to top it off, concerting larks. It was a…

Daynamics of nature in the park
Winter is letting up and the temperatures are becoming more and more friendly for walks with a camera. We would like to go outside, somewhere outside the city… but when there is no time for that, a nearby park can also become a place where we can take interesting photos.…

Autumn colors are here
September and early October failures in searching for autumn in the beech forest are history. Finally, the most colorful time of the year has come to the forest. Yellows, browns and oranges dominate above the head and under the feet and there are so many fungi that you have to…

Wingswept moments
The development of information technologies, which are currently the main tool in post-production of photographs and preparing them for presentation, is currently very rapid. Therefore, I decided to return to my rather large collection of photos from the Jeziorsko Reservoir. I have a special fondness for it and that’s why…

Mantis in the goldenrods
A year ago, quite by accident, I discovered a place with quite a large population of praying mantises in the vicinity of Łódź. This year I decided to go back to the same place and check if my models are still there. And yes, they were! Unable to resist their…

Summer in full bloom at the meadow
There is no denying that this year’s July is extremely dry and hot, which is not good for the nature. Drought is visible everywhere and affects not only people. In recent weeks I went several times to a familiar meadow near my hometown. I was hoping that, like a few…

Tree frog
May is a month that photographically reminds me of two themes – lilies of the valley and tree frogs mentioned in the title. These charming, intensely green frog-like amphibians are not frogs. Just as a roe deer is not a deer’s “wife”, a tree frog is not a frog (although…

May in the beech forest
The first long weekend in May passed this year under the sign of sunny weather, but it was quite chilly. In the forest, the place of anemones is already taken by violets, hare sorrel and chickweed. Small spiders and insects scurry in the undergrowth every now and then. However, what…

Spring floral burst
We are halfway through April and spring has already broken out in all its full. At the bottom of the forest, apart from the ever-spreading greenery, white anemones in whole fields begin to reign. Therefore, I visited one of my favorite “anemone” places in the forest, through which a tiny…

Frog soup
In the previous post I presented spring frolics of gray toads. Now it’s time to look at what frogs do after waking up, around mid-March. And they do basically the same thing as toads – they head to shallow waters to mate and spawn. It’s just a short time and…

Toads in action
Spring clearly marks its presence in the surrounding nature. In addition to the increasingly visible greenery, its indisputable sign is the awakening of amphibians. This year, I was lucky enough to hit the perfect moment when the toads woke up near the familiar mid-forest pond. When I was there a…

Winter on Pilsko
The organization of winter photography sessions in the mountains by Zygmunt Urzędnik (ZPFP) is a long-standing tradition. Meetings have already taken place in many different areas, but most often at the top of Pilsko, Hala Miziowa in the Silesian Beskids. Participation in these events has become my personal tradition, and…

Snowy forest – one day winter
Recently in central Poland we have such winters that snowy and frosty days are very rare. When a day with snow finally occurs, it’s worth going to the field for photos, because you don’t know when the next one will be. That also happened a few days ago. According to…
