March 1st is officially first day of spring by Ukrainian Calendar.Today is bright sunny day.It might look spring like, but don't dismiss your coat and gloves just yet.
It's -5C (23F) outside.
I waked around, one of my favorite Kiev's neighborhoods, Podil.
I am wearing a warm jacket, scarf, gloves,hat and sunglasses (I have to tell you that my sunglasses are always with me day or night...quite a shock for local people and the source of constant jokes and comments. But I can't part with them-it would be like ripping New York from my heart; well, it's another story) with my camera looking for Spring...
That's what met my eyes today.
Podil* beautiful poetic aura found its reflection on my photos.
Is huge roof icicles a sign of Spring?
Spring is in the air, despite frozen puddles, snowy streets and dangerous icicles...
I always loved icicles. I just don't want to be killed by one...so I strongly recommend: beware of icicles!
Icicle is an apotheosis of water states above all: snow, liquid, ice, steam, etc. of telling us (humans), that we are not the only living creatures with ability to express ourselves...
Water is everlasting changing creature with so many states: liquid, snow, ice, steam, etc...with an icicWater scrims with ecstasy creating an icicle...
I just got an SMS from a friend with first day of spring warm wishes...
And that is exactly my message to you today, wherever you are, HAPPY FIRST DAY of spring to you!!!
