IT seems not only humans are fascinated to watch the ducklings, even the turtles are into that

Dolphins on the beach
Death is a fact of life, even the noblest or the most intelligent creatures die eventually. Such is life, sad but true.
The object the kid above was looking at was a dolphin dead on the beach of 2 Mai at the Black Sea.
And next day on the beach of Vama Veche, also at the Black Sea, there was another dolphin, this time accompanied by seagulls.

Frozen
I absolutely have no idea how those birds, both swans and ducks, manage to bath in the frozen water, but somehow they do. I prefer to stay with warm water instead 🙂

Huntin’
Ever since I got The Sniper I wanted to go hunt squirrels, but things happened, I was either busy or down so postponed it again and again, until the last week-end, when despite the improper weather, I got some work done. So, introducing Mr. Squirrel of Herastrau Park once again:
Now indulge me for some Romanian language, I remembered an old joke, which I won’t bother to translate (but for the gist of it, bere = beer, veverita = squirrel ~= beaver in slang)

Of bees and flowers
The last breath of the flowers, I had the opportunity to capture some classic close-ups with bees, which was a good opportunity, a first test of the macro capabilities of my new lens.

Spring in the city
Saturday I was out in the city for a photojournalism project (more about it next week) and passed near the Cismigiu Park and noticed how the spring has come: not only short, transparent skirts but also flowers and bees. Stopped for a short while (couldn’t let the rest of the team wait for me) and took a shoot of the later.

Triumph? not so fast Buster…
A few weeks ago (almost one month ago!) I though I blew my last chance to get a good (but cliché) photo with snowdrops and snow but many things happened since then: snow and freezing cold, huge snow and so on. However, last week-end it looked like the spring finally triumphed and I got my snowdrops cliché:
It was warm and sunny and the little resilient managed to find their way out:
My joy was premature, this morning the winter was in full swing again, the place of my little snowdrops went from that to that (today’s photo are a bit rushed, I was already late for work):
And the little guys are fighting and still holding:
Who will win in the end? Place your bets…

Winter in the park
Winter strikes back just when I though all is over: a lot of snow and so cold that even the stones are breaking (this morning the thermometer was showing -16°C, supposedly over night it was even colder). So I planned to take advantage of the winter while is still possible, with a week-end photoshot, no matter the cold.
Saturday it was a beautiful snow, with large and slow snowflakes and lacking the possibility to for a photoshot in a traditional countryside, I though the Village Museum from Herastrau Park is the best next replacement, the closest fake. Unfortunately, the Museum was close, dunno if it is closed all winter long or I was just unlucky, so all I could take was a few shots from across the lake:
There are also a few other park decorations with a rustic feel:
And of course, the ducks (I think they are heroes for bathing in that water):
And there were also some very happy (and fat) small birds:
I found impressive the real winter tree decorations:
And found funny this statue (is Venus? Diana? not sure, but this statue is in the park for as long as I remember), effectively swimming in snow, it made me think about how old farts (like me) are saying: in my time, to do X we had to walk Y miles uphill in the snow
When going home, under the Arcul de Triumf I saw those poor soldiers in festive uniforms, over the week-end was the Union Day, so they had to be part of some ceremonies:
