Linum austriacum, or asian flax marks the arrival of May in Hungary (sometimes its blooming in late april though :) ).(04.30)

Geranium robertianum, commonly known as herb Robert, or Red Robin. In my language it's called something wierdish (Nehézszagú gólyaorr), which - literally translated to english - means: redolent stork-nose.
In herbalism, it is traditionally used for toothache, and noosebleeds. And furthermore, it is said to repel mosquitoes: just rub your skin with freshly picked leaves of the plant.

Another close-up after those ill-fated landscapes of recent days. Lovely little creature, captured on a morning dog-walking session near Normafa, Budapest. (04.28.)

Trying myself and the gear out on landscapes, but I've a hell of a long way to improve. Buda hills, and southern part of the Pilis, seen from Normafa (favourite tourist destination of Budapest) (04.27)

Buda Castle, and part of Downtown Budapest, seen from Buda hills, approx. 430 m a.s.l. (04.26.)  

Taraxacum officinale, better known as dandelion, marks the true spring's arrival in my country. Although in recent years these plants sometimes blooms even at the second half of autumn, marking that our continental climate getting fucked up gorgeously.  

When spring meets a decayed old block. The contrast of life in nature. (04.24.)

Missed the post yesterday due to work, but it's here today. Another closeup, this time it's from the Cerastium genus. (04.22.)

Conclusion: if someone plants a bunch of tulips into a wind tunnel developed between two buildings in town... that's the story behind the picture. (04.21)

Another beauty from the Pulmonaria genus. I'm starting to feel the need of macro lens. (04.20)

My pathetically weak knowledge of our Flora has failed again. :( (04.19)

I can't tell it's bloody ugly, or wierdly mesmerizing. But if I've to look closer, I'd stick with the ugly. The National Theatre at Győr, Hungary, is officially a really ugly building.

City hall, Győr, Hungary. 

Then again, I have no idea who is this little bugger. Anyone? (04.16)

I'm honestly not sure about what's the name of this plant, but it's really doesn't matter sometimes. (04.15)

Adonis vernalis, also known as pheasant's eye. It's considered as a common spring flower in some well-preserved (means conservation areas, where only limited human presence allowed) parts of the country, but what's not so well known, that it's rather poisonous due to some cardiostimulant compounds. A strong tea out of it would be fatal. 

Her relative, the Adonis transsylvanica is, however a very rare plant;  rare enough to be the primary reason to establishing a National Park on it's conservation. There's only five known habitat exists in the Carpathian Basin, and as for today, worldwide.

     Viola odorata.:)

Muscari neglectum, for today's picture. One of the first spring flowers around here, but her blossoms last way longer than of the Pulsatilla grandis', or even the false hellebore's yellow ones. 

Running stream at the foot of the mountains (Börzsöny, Hungary) (04.11)

Found november high up in the heart of Börzsöny mountains. 

Prunus spinosa, after rain; for today's picture! :)

One day behind schedule, but still: the view of Szokolya village from the southern slopes of Börzsöny mountains, with harsh early spring colours. 

Pulmonaria mollis, for yesterday's picture, as I fell asleep during posting. :) 

Pulsatilla grandis, one of the nost beautiful spring flowers in the Carpathian Basin, in my humble opinion. 

I decided a few days ago that I am gonna turn this blog into some sort of a plog. It's originated from the fact that I am clearly unable to lead this blog in it's classic written form, mainly because I never had the urge to spread my thoughts to the outside world.

I had the fortune a few weeks ago to buy a secondhand Canon DSLR machine. Soon enough I found myself outdoors, crawling on the ground wherever, and trying to get the best closeup possible of any growing thing. It's really hard I have to say, and soon I experienced firsthand that I knew already: it's a whole new task to take a photo with a DSLR with all the settings, and preparations. But if it's done right, the results are outstanding. It's worth every second!

So about the plog: my purpose would be simply the following: I tend to publish one meaningful photo every single day from today onward. That's a hard thing to do, especially with an indoor workplace and all, but hopefully i can handle the task. I always did love to take photos, I just never had the proper equipment apart from compact or bridge cameras.

But taking a photo each day, I can easily check my progress if there'll be any, and see the world from different angle than before.
The task started today, at the 5th of April, 2016.
Oh, and finally: I'm kind of an addict of macros, and horrified of portraits, or anything that has something to do with flesh and blood humans. So lots of macros, some landscapes, sunsets,sunrises, and skies, and very little antroponetic stuff coming up hopefully for a month at least.
