A while ago I decided to prepare a few pics to illustrate my future post(s) on this year reading; I found B&W editing benefits the pics -- well, at least it will suit well to this certain book ('Cod.

A little selection from my fungi folders: six fresh macros from July. Very very very tiny mold. Stemonitis. (Mold, again). Finally - a bird's nest. I found a colony of this specie! Had a great 3-hour walk

Each day I shoot more and more caterpillars; thats the way! I dont restrict myself to such point of view, but they come and come, and I dont object -- especially when there are some new species unknown

Today I harvested some fruits from the tree. It was a birch, so I got nor apples neither lemons -- but those fancy spectacular larvae. Name is: Birch sawfly

Outdoors ad for the restaurant of americn food. Quite creative! All the bikes still have X-mas mood, thats for sure. Maybe they enjoy the vacays, who knows? I passed a fine art doorway that could not but

One day, God sent a crow a piece of cheese... well, to be precise today it was not a crow, but two snails; and not cheese, but a sweet, juicy raspberry; also it wasn't a God but a man with a camera --

Most part of the captures done with my wife's smartphone camera. (In spring she obtained last year's Xiomi 15T which was the last year's flagman model - and I should say, it does the job very well, in

Not much I can say about this portrait. I love its smoothly-blended colours, soft contrast, a momentary-long sudden eye contact, non-staged pose. Of course it was one take with no doubles. Made this capture

Greetings! Today I selected five #street photo from my visit to the biggest St.Petersburg flea market at Udelnay railway station back in September 2023. Selection of random pics, no single thema given.

I selected six macro captures to present today, all from the last week, and were taken in my garden. Look what cretures I have encountered; 2/3 of them still stay unidentified. Near the terrace we keep

Hola, setero! Today I share some fresh mushroom impressions from exploring of my summer house backyard. A little boleto Suillus bovinus. In Russian it has a funny name - 'Козлёнок' (a newborn baby-goat).

Looking at the photo you may consider my city do not have enought benches; thats not correct. Come walk with me across the streets, yards and parks of St.Petersburg, and you will see. Oh, by the way: till

Today I invite you to travel back to the 1920-es. I present you the history of one song, to be precise, a four views onto 'Cocainette' by the Pierrot of Russian scene, iconic singer, poet and actor Alexander

A view of St.Petersburg at the Moika River embankment, captured 5 years ago in October 2021; you might guess I took this series of photos due to this very extraordinary looking car parked on the rodside.

5 recent streetphoto captures from a local park. Soap bubbling, an exciting kidz fun!
