We were just celebrating the arrival of spring, sunny days and flowering plants, thinking the winter is over. But unfortunately it had the final say. Two days ago upon waking up, the bright, white snowy landscape surprised us again. As I scrolled through social media, you can see the mood of the people was ruined. Even though this modern weather is so unpredictable it was still a hard hit for everyone, including myself. The visions and plans of being outside in the nature, enjoying good weather put on hold.
I was pretty excited about fruits in my backyard starting to bloom, but now it's very uncertain what will survive the snow. As I'm writing this, the snow is already gone, but the damage might be done. Hopefully not. 🤞
What can you do, I've accepted it and at least went out to do more street photography in the snow. The best time to photograph is of course while it's still snowing. Snowflakes add another dimension. Once it stopps it's much less effective and exciting to walk around. :)
The bus to the city was barely moving due to morning traffic, so I stepped outside and walked across the bridge over Danube river. The blizzard was strong as I was crossing the long bridge (it takes about 30 minutes).
I was looking for interesting subjects (or any subjects at all, because the streets weren't that busy). People with interesting outfits, vibrant colors, umbrellas, work well with these muted blue tones. And of course, people with dogs, you can always count on them to be active this early in the snowy morning. :) Overall, I think it was a successful trip - some interesting photographs to preserve the memory of this unexpected spring surprise.

All the photos are great, I can't understand why spring hasn't come, it's sunny here now but tomorrow it looks rainy. The next day it's sunny and the day after that there's a thunderstorm. Everything is very uncertain and it looks like we will have to wait for spring and summer for a while.
Yeah it really keeps the moral of the people low because everyone is hoping for good weather for so long. Weird times.
April in Serbia:
That's pretty much the case for the past few years. :/
You made me forget for at least a minute, how I hate winter, with your amazing photos. I do feel your pain. I am Canadian.😌
That's the only possible benefit of snow - making pretty photos. :) But I'll always choose good weather.
Yay! 🤗

God, how I wish I knew snow haha. I'm impressed are the pictures of the lake, falling there shouldn't be pretty. Just such a day would be perfect for bathing in boiling coffee haha. Great job! Your photos are beautiful.
Thank you very much! It's definitely an interesting phenomenon to experience haha. It can feel good for a short period of time. But not in spring when we are eager to go outside and enjoy the sun. :)
Thanks for these beautiful photographs!
I take comfort in knowing that other parts of the northern hemisphere are also sharing in the misery of endless winter. Here we keep getting hailstorms. Ugh. Like snow bb guns.
Wow those are devastating for the fruits and gardens. :/ Crazy weather all around the world. Glad you like the photos. :)
Oh wow that are some beautiful shots!
Goosh, I guess we were lucky, no snow in Baranja but ice cold yesss! The sun has come back though since yesterday and for you?
Thank you! Yes it's still pretty cold here. Some days are good and you can be outside, but mostly it's either cold, wind or rain. Hopefully it ends soon.
Same here, due to be better tomorrow Godwilling!
