Golden Polish Autumn

[winter]

First of all, a very happy birthday to concordantnexus. His musings about Canadian winter got me thinking about Polish autumn, and how gorgeous this one has been. Sunday before All Hallows, I went through the neighbourhood wild park to the other cemetary, and on the way there I took photos. See below for rowans and apple orchards and crows and birches - all of these are at most a 20-minute walk from my apartment.





















































In other news, my heart goes out to arabwel and astarise, for varying reasons. Tomorrow is another day, ladies.

Isn't that "kawka" a "jackdaw"? Wiki link on jackdaws. "Wrony" are "crows" and they are usually black. "Kruki" are "ravens" and they too are usually black.

American Crows and American Ravens are both black. However, due to N American laws that prevent the keeping on them as pets, many movies and commercials use trained African White-Necked Ravens instead. :)

Nah, Polish jackdaws are black with the grey back of the neck and usually blue eyes, and about half the size of a crow. All the crows around here have gray feathers on their bodies, as opposed to the... whatstheirname... gawrony, who are all black.
