Winter has finally come: everything is white, earth is covered with soft snow, branches of trees are covered with fluffy snowflakes. It’s −12°C. The sun is shining. It’s dazzlingly bright outside because the sun light reflects from white snow and white trees. Rarely snowflakes fall from above shimmering in the sun, it feels like fairytale.
Actually it was yesterday, I just couldn’t publish the post earlier.

Recently I visited Cat Museum

I’ve never heard of it before. Therefore it was very interesting to see it.
Cat Museum is located in Vsevolozhsk (Всеволожск), near St. Petersburg, in a two-storied house.

Since the museum is small, it works on request only. For more information read my post in Russian, look at museum group VKontakte, or ask me in comments.
Nature played a joke on us on April Fools’ Day: it snowed in the afternoon when it was supposed to be spring. Snow covered everything…
This morning came to St. Petersburg with hard frost. The temperature was below −20°C. The trees were covered with hoarfrost.
