I'll start with the freshest photo of the month in which I'm writing this post.
December
This year, December showed that winter had come, immediately on the first day. More than a week of winter has passed, so far there have been no significant changes in nature. There was no more snow. The air temperature is approximately at the same level. December can still be called gray and cloudy. Only occasionally the sun peeped out for several hours. Yet even a little snow gives us the feeling of winter. And this is good.
November
November was changeable with us. Now the sun smiled, then it was sad, hiding behind the clouds. Nature still delighted with its colors. There are many rowan trees growing in our city to the delight of the birds. Bright berries are like decoration. Especially in clear sunny weather. Berries shone like lights against the background of bare trees. The photo shows the only day in November when there was a frost.
October
October was wonderful with us. Pleased with sunny days and bright autumn colors. Nature was still in its splendor. The trees are full of colors ranging from green to yellow to crimson. And the weather was wonderful. Only occasionally were there dark days with rains.
September
We were waiting for a warm and sunny September. This usually happens when summer is late claiming its rights. And so it was this year. But September still came on schedule. Already on the first day he announced that autumn had come. Cloudy days followed after a clear August. Some trees quickly succumbed to the autumn mood, changing the green foliage to yellow. Sometimes nature made concessions and gave blue sky and sun.
August
My favorite plant, goldenrod, is blooming. Lush thickets on the outskirts of the city delight during walks. Also in August I saw a lot of butterflies. In the photo there is a mother-of-pearl butterfly.
July
The top of summer July delighted us with wonderful weather. And of course I am posting a photograph of wildflowers here. My favorite daisies.
June
The black elderberry usually blooms in May. But this year, the active flowering time came in June.
Unlike autumn September and winter December, we will not take summer June in its first half. The weather was not summer. It wasn't until the end of the month that we finally felt the summer weather. Nature also retarded development due to low air temperatures, not inherent in this period.
May
The most blooming month of the year. But this year the spring was colder than in previous years. So the flowering of fruit crops is only at the end of the month in the active stage.
April
Finally, it feels like spring has come. Bright young greenery appears on trees and grass. Only the reeds are still in their golden appearance, which has been preserved since late autumn.
March
The March photo is almost the same as in December. From this it follows that this year the weather in December is identical with the weather in March. But still, March is spring. It's time for the hopes and joys of nature.
February
February was the best winter month this year. There was enough snow to feel the joy of winter. Sometimes February spoiled us with the sun. The unfrozen water on the river is located next to the dam. It was specially built for the wintering of wild ducks on the river.
January
There is only one January photograph left in my archive. A short description is more suitable for him - early spring in the city. Snow covered the ground lightly. Melted sidewalk, and then it was covered with a thin edge of ice. So the whole January passed - the air temperature was higher than it should be at the peak of winter.
Here's a quick recollection of this year's nature thanks to the competition
