Lightning!
Jul 30, 2010 Nature
It’s not that we are now into the stormy season. It’s just that it was very hot for a very long time and now the colder air is coming in and it produces thunderstorms sometimes out of nowhere. This one came in some 15 minutes.

One more photo from Sabile vineyard. You can also taste the wine at the entrancee but don’t expect too much of it.

This week I visited one of the most interesting places in Latvia - Sabile Wine Hill which is mentioned in Guiness World Records Book as world’s most northern vineyard. It’s a really nice place to walk with a great view over Sabile town, sometimes it seems you are not in Latvia, so untypical is the view.
Grass Snake
Aug 12, 2009 Nature
We have two kinds of snakes here in Latvia. All other snake lookalikes actually aren’t snakes. This one is not poisonous and is called grass snake. Of course being not poisonous doesn’t hold back people from being scared of it.

Blue Cornflowers

We don’t call them cornflowers in Latvian, we call them rye-flowers because they grow mostly in rye fields. Very nice and romantic flowers.

Seaside Flowers
Jul 20, 2009 Nature
Since I have become my own boss I am spending my summer by the sea. My day begins with running along the seashore, then swimming in the cool waters of the Baltic Sea, then working in much enjoyable environment than a loud city. And this is how it looks around here!

The bugs came more and more so we started to put them together to make a group photo. This is what came out - some 50 of them in the bowl. Nice view!

These bugs came out of nowhere and in some minutes they were all around the beach. I don’t know was it some kind of vacation for them after eating leaves off the trees or something? Next few days I will be posting more of them, so stay tuned!
