I wanted to make voice comments but got a sore throat. :( Even now I can't speek normally though I hope to recover soon.

So I'll have to show one more video that doesn't need any explanations and this one is on a chipmunk. There are many of them in the forests in my region but they are scare of every rustle and don't often let people to come close.

Ladybirds - queens of the Autumn-2007

The snow melted but the nature looks beaten down. With the little exception for ladybirds.

They are sure the queens of this Autumn in Vladivostok. I don't remember here be so many of them for years. And even now when night temprature is lower than 0 C (32 F) they are still livid and active.

First snow

The first snow was early this year. It rarely snows here earlier November. The trees are still green and many of them didn't manage the weight of snow and fell down.

I think there's something fascinating in snow on the green grass and leaves.
