Let it Snow

Yesterday we just had winter warning. And today it happened. Two feet of snow is a little bit too much for November. However, we have what we have. No complains❄️🙂

A little bit of late Summer

Sometimes it’s really necessary to escape from crazy life, forget about everything, and give your brain time to relax of all World’s troubles.

So

The Moon and the Sun

Beautiful morning time. The sun rises pretty early this time of the year. We are almost at the summer solstice.

Friday, May 13

On my way to work from the window of my car I met the sun in this beautiful shape and colour. Unfortunately, while driving it was impossible to make the high quality picture by iPhone, but don’t take the eyes off impossible too.

Early Morning

The other thing caught my eyes this morning was the Goose Family right beside the entrance of my company.

The Breath of Spring

Winter Morning

Winter Morning

Hard frost and sunshine – a day of pleasure!
You are still drowsy at your leisure –
It’s time, my beauty, ope your eyes!   
Let you get free of blissful dreaming,   
To meet the North Aurora, deeming 
The Star of North, let you arise!

Last eve the blizzard howled angry, 
The ghostly sky struck all and sundry,  
The vapid moon was scarcely seen  
Among dark drear clouds drifting;    
Your mood was cheerlessly shifting – 
Look now – what a change has been!   

Under a bright blue vault of heaven  
Like a beautiful carpet, soft and even, 
The snow glitters in sunlight; 
Transparent woods are soly dark, 
The firs through hoarfrost nicely sparkle 
And under ice brooks’ torrents slide.    

With amber light the entire room 
Is being lit up. What a boon    
Is a merry crackle of the stove’s flame.    
How swell to ponder near a fire!      
But listen, wouldn’t we desire  
To ride in our open sleigh? 

While sliding over morning snow 
Be drawn into a run in tow 
Of an impatient mare, trotting hard?  
And visit fields that now are empty, 
And woods – a recent horn of plenty, 
The bank too dear to my heart. 

A. Pushkin (translated by V. Chistjakov)


Yesterday and Today

November is unpredictable. Beautiful sunny Saturday did not have any sign of so dramatic changes. However, Sunday morning surprised us by its white duvet.

Yesterday

Today

Skay and Waterfall

Niagara Falls never leaves you indifferent. In any season and in any weather, it is mesmerizing.

Horseshoe and Zipliners


Ball’s Falls

Unlike last autumn this one has a lot of rain. Ball’s Falls this year look like real waterfall.

Upper Falls


Following along the river to the lower falls.





Lower Falls



This is the same place and time last year.

Lower Falls

Battery, St. John’s

Coming to the end of the North Head Trail you find yourself in the Battery. Here all the streets are broken and follow the coast line of the bay. The colorful houses and lush vegetation create a fabulous mood. Harsh rocky landscapes turn into friendly and welcoming pictures.


















Signal Hill – North Head Trail

The North Head Trail is Signal Hill’s most popular and most difficult hiking trail. This 1.7 km trail takes approximately 90 mins and descends almost 500 feet. Hikers connect with the trail from Signal Hill’s top parking lot. From there they descend down boardwalk stairs, follow a footpath to North Head at the entrance to the St. John’s Harbour, & hike along the narrows to Lower Battery Road.












Colourful October

There is a very short period of time between hot summer and cool autumn when all the trees and bushes change their green wear to colourful duvet. It looks gorgeous under the warm autumn sun.












Manuels River Trail

Perhaps the easiest hiking trail around St. John’s we found was the Manuels River Trail. It is beautiful and picturesque way along the river. Mostly it is covered by the trees and people can feel comfortable in the shade.











Topsail Beach Bluff Trail

The trail itself is not something special but the view from the bluff is breathtaking.










La Manche, NL

The last visit of Newfoundland was about walking around the St. John’s area to see the beauty of this place. There are a lot of trails around with the different level of difficulties. Some of them is just like city pedestrian way, but most are rough and unfriendly, where you have to be careful. La Manche Village Path is one of numerous beautiful but rough.












Then the path coming to the bridge. From the bridge there is a beautiful view of the ocean.









Finally the trail is coming to the coast of ocean – Doctors Cove. This is nice flat stone place where the ocean waves crashing on the wall and retreat.

Rainy Morning


Restless Niagara River

This river never is quiet and smooth. It has a very wayward character, and looks forward to meeting a cliff to fall down. This is Niagara Falls.

The Edge

Spring in orchard

It’s hard to believe that in two or three weeks this boring landscape will turn into a blooming garden. Today it is waiting for the rain and the first spring thunderstorm.
