It is true that Nature is notoriously inconstant and often comes to mind when I hear the word transformation. The transformation of Nature through the seasons in Russia is marked quite drastically and each has its own magic.
Here are four photos depicting the transformation that takes place in Russia as the seasons change:
You know it is winter when…
…the whole world outside is covered in snow and looks like a fairy wonderland!!
When your days get short and gloomy, filled with cold ice winds it is the beauty of everything covered in snow that makes it bearable.
You know it is spring when…
….all the parks in Russia is filled with tulips and colour.
You know it is summer when…
….the fountains in the parks are turned on and you would rather be sitting in it than looking at it!!
You know it is autumn/fall when…
….the leaves all turn orange and you suddenly need a scarf and hat against the icy wind that start blowing all over Russia.

It’s kinda sad that we no longer have proper seasons most of the years… this one was exception where I live, but few years back it was just rain and mud from august till summer next year 😦

I lived there for 2 years. Thought I was going to die the first winter but by the second one I could actually see past the cold and appreciate the beauty of it.

The Tulips of Moscow – doesn’t quite have the same ring as The Tulips of Amsterdam, lol. I’ve never given any thought to what flowers might bloom in Russia – it always seems so cold and icy there!
