Spring Silence.
Swamp alder forest. Southern Poland. April 2025

A swampy alder forest in the afternoon sun. The lower right corner is covered with intensely green spring grass. The upper left corner shows an alder forest. Between these two parts of the frame, a small forest, marshy stream flows. On the left side of the frame, near the edge of the photo, there is a large alder tree.

In the lower part of the photo, on the right side, there are the pointed remains of two tree trunks cut down by beavers. Right next to it, on the left, lies a long, cut-down tree. Next to these tree trunks lies a layer of wood shavings made by beaver teeth. On the left side of the frame we can see a fragment of an alder trunk, which at the bottom has already been partially cut by beavers. The central part of the photo is a wet, swampy forest with a puddle reflecting the sky and trees. Around this patch of water grows green spring grass. In the upper part of the photo you can see the bottoms of the tree trunks of this marshy forest. In the upper part of the photo you can see the bottoms of the tree trunks of the marshy forest and behind them a narrow strip of beige reeds. The scene is illuminated by the warm afternoon sun, but late afternoon shadows are already visible between the trees.

A beaver dam in a swampy forest in southern Poland.
This year's spring in this area is very dry. Beavers know how important water management is.
April 2025

The photo shows a beaver dam on a small, brown river that flows through a swampy forest. One third of the frame from the bottom shows a dam built of sticks debarked by beavers. Fresh green grass grows between the sticks. The center of the frame is a brown, swampy river that flows lazily from the right side of the frame and spreads wide in front of the dam. To the left of the water lies the crooked trunk of an old tree. The upper part of the frame is a dark swamp forest covered mainly with alder. Between the trees fresh spring grass. The entire scene is illuminated by the soft, warm afternoon sun.

The photo shows a panorama of the snowy Tatra Mountains from Babia Góra. The bottom half of the photo shows partially out-of-focus green branches of the mountain pine. The upper part is the snow-capped Tatra Mountains. The mountains are slightly hazy, photographed from a distance of about 40 km in the afternoon sun. Above the mountains a narrow strip of blue sky and on it a strip of clouds parallel to the mountains.

View of the Tatra Mountains from Babia Góra.
Spring is slowly beginning on Babia Góra. Snow can be found only in a few shady places and, of course, on the top of the mountain. The high peaks of the Tatra Mountains still completely white.

Green returns to the forest.
Dentaria glandulosa (Cardamine glanduligera) - PL: Żywiec gruczołowaty

On the right side of the photo you can see a large trunk of an old alder. On the left, a wild plant creeping along the ground and emerging from the trunk. This plant is Dentaria glandulosa (Cardamine glanduligera). PL: Żywiec gruczołowaty. A typical forest plant, especially in beech forests. Dentaria glandulosa forms characteristic green carpets in early spring, when many other plants have not yet developed leaves. It is a plant with beautiful purple flowers and palmate-trifoliate leaves, found in the Carpathian Mountains and Subcarpathian region, as well as lower down, but adjacent to the mountains. I found this particular one about 50 km south of Cracow, on the edge of a beech forest, close to a small forest stream.

Forest beaver dam and small waterfall.

#Photography #Landscape #LandscapePhotography #Biodiversity #Beaver #Beaverdam #Waterfall #Poland #MarekJedra #Fotografia #Krajobraz #FotografiaKrajobrazowa #Bioroznorodnosc #Bobr #Tama #Wodospad #Polska

The photo shows a beaver dam on a small forest stream in warm afternoon sun. There is a lot of dry grass everywhere. The dam runs from the left to the right of the photo, halfway up the frame. On the left side of the dam a stream of water flows down, creating a small, blurred waterfall (long exposure). Below the waterfall the first pieces of green grass grow. Above the dam, an old fallen tree trunk is submerged in the water. Grasses and trees are reflected in the water surface. At the very top of the frame is the bank of a stream covered with dry, yellow-beige grass.

The lizard tree and a very sad stone head.

March 2025.

#Photography #Landscape #LandscapePhotography #Forest #Tree #Lizard #Winter #Stone #Poland #MarekJedra #Fotografia #Krajobraz #FotografiaKrajobrazowa #Las #Drzewo #Jaszczur #Zima #Kamien #Polska

Remains of an old, small sandstone quarry in the forest. On the exposed stone slope there is a large root of a beech tree growing over a precipice. The root resembles a lizard that helps the tree stay alive. One of the large stones below the lizard resembles a simplified silhouette of a sad human head.

An ordinary beech forest.
Photo from Sunday walk - after a big lunch.
March 2, 2025.

Beech forest in the warm afternoon sun. The photo shows a young beech forest on the mountainside. The photo is divided roughly into two halves, from the lower left to the upper right corner. Bottom half - the forest floor - is completely covered with brown and orange dry leaves and overgrown with young beech trees. One tree on the right side of the frame is older. In the upper half of the photo, you can see a fuzzy forest on another hill, with a slightly blue sky above it.

A sunny winter day but completely free of snow and frost. At the bottom the meadow with dry grass. There are two pine trees growing in the meadow. One large on the right side of the frame and the other much smaller on the left. In the background, the white Three Crowns ("Trzy Korony") mountains covered with forest at its foot. Over the mountains, intensely blue sky without a single cloud. This is what winter looks like this year...

Sunny but very sad photo, taken a few days ago.
Harsh light and a boring blue sky. Lack of any cloud overhead. But this is this year's winter in southern Poland! February 22, 2025. "Trzy Korony" (Three Crowns) in Pieniny Mountains.

Yesterday's sunset in the Pieniny Mountains.
View from the "Trzy Korony" (Three Crowns) to the west.

Sunset in the Pieniny Mountains. View from the meadow under Trzy Korony (Three Crowns) towards the west. In the foreground are the tops of coniferous trees, and behind them the mountain peaks, misty and illuminated by the warm light of the setting sun. On the right side above, the frozen Czorsztyn Lake. Above the mountains, a blurry orange-blue sky.

Does anyone have an idea what this is?

On the ice and snow covered surface of the pond, I found many oval, unfrozen holes. Could these be places where methane was leaking from the bottom of the pond? February 2025.

The entire frame is the icy surface of the pond covered with fresh snow. In several places, unfrozen, oval holes with water are visible. The ice around the holes has a brown tint.
