About this blog:
We love traveling. We always capture tons of pictures from wherever we've been and we like sharing our traveling experiences with our friends. So, this is how this blog began - as short stories with pictures in an attempt to share where we've been and what we've seen. Even not stories , but just notes. Nothing serious and big. Mostly I'm writing these stories on a rush and sometimes even don't have time to re-read them. So, I apologize in advance for possible typos here and there. There can be some factual errors or inaccuracies and they even might be corrected one day. Don't hesitate to contact me if you find something that needs to be fixed and don't expect these notes to be a perfect novels ;) The stories in this blog are not in chronological order, but I will try to remember to put the date of the trip. So... welcome to this blog and, hopefully, you will find something interesting and have the same feeling we had when we were there. Let's go...
And... by the way... all pictures and texts in this blog are protected by International and USA Copyright laws, so if you'd like to repost or use something on your page - contact me first.
Using anything published here without permission is violation of the law and... it isn't really nice...

Flowers before snow... second part

 Just a few more pictures of the mostly the same flowers.

Is this one a hibiscus?  I am not really sure... but, probably. Anyway, it looks amazing, doesn't is?




Prickly Lettuce. It was blooming since July and still have a lot of flowers. These days you can find the buds, the flowers, the pods and dried pieces on the same flower. Diversity ;)


Bluemink again. Doesn't it look wild?





Rose bud looks so cool and nice before cool weather is going to freeze it.



"Hello, grasshopper, what a beautiful world you live in!" - said a friend of mine and I fully agree with him, do you?


Another acorn. It looks like it was machined to perfection, don't you think?



Honeydew hunter. Looking for some sweeties.




In a few days these buds will turn into flowers. Wild Bluemink flowers.



Believe it or not, but I found this on the branches of the oak tree. Not 100% sure, but I think those are oak apples (or oak galls). And another guess is the wasp on the picture is one who "created" this apple. Oak apples are caused by chemicals injected by the larva of certain kinds of gall wasp in the family Cynipidae. The Russian name for these galleys is ink berry, because they have been used in the production of ink since at least the time of the Roman Empire. From the Middle Ages to the early twentieth century, iron gall ink was the main medium used for writing in the Western world. Now I am thinking if I should collect some and make inks to use them in dip pen?



Long time no see... Just an dandelion :)
