Grim, is what it is. Especially for the last two years. The leaves are gone, the grayness has sent in, yet there’s barely a snowflake in sight. Yet, Russian artists manage to draw inspiration even from the Nature’s bleakest scenes.

Home & Away 
Brrrrrr….!
Dull and drab and drizzly here today, too, if it’s any consolation….
I am looking at our first snow right now!
That doesn’t sound too bad to me right now, seeing as I’m still being attacked by mosquitoes every night! It’s the worst year, the suckers just refuse to die!!!!
just lovely — thank you for posting. I guess it’s grim to live thru, but to look at in sunny Mexico, this art is a treat!
Gee, glad I could help 😛
Ooh, those snowy ones make me feel all Christmassy…especially as it’s sunny and 23 degrees in Rome today 🙂
I can’t with you 😛
