The picture is from the 30th of April, from the Beltane celebrations, though I doubt many people know today what does it mean and how ancient this festival is. Nevertheless, making big fires on the eve of the 1st May have a good tradition here, they are held in every village and town. Also in ours. Great attraction for kids, this time the main fun was to stay or run through the dense smoke spreading from the fire.

92 - Paths
The last geocaching hunt brought me to quite a wild piece of land, to the delta of little creek at the lake, actually a marshland with narrow streams and pools of water everyehwere that I had to cross over not so stable and wide "bridges".
91 - Life
I love how the nature is awakening. We were on the trip last weekend and we passed a place on a meadow where the bees and other insects were really humming above the yellow flowers. Then back at home, a short while before it started raining (that's why the sky is so dark), our flowering apple tree bathed in the last rays of sun and again the diligent little creatures were humming in the treetop.

89 - Urban
Less than fifty years ago these villages around Prague were independent isolated islands and the "city" was far, far away. But the city has been hungry and it wanted new grounds for new apartments for more and more people. And so it happened - the "city" swallowed those nice small villages, they became part of the metropole, here and there surrounded by ugly block of flats like in this case.

86 - Photo Essay
Our girls borrowed inline skates. Both of them, because they got inspired by their friends from neighbourhood. The initial excitement did not last long though. Mainly Alice gave up after the tarmac hit her behind a couple of times. Klara was little more determined, but eventually both swapped the inlines for their bicycles. As Germans say - Sicher ist sicher....

84 - Groups
We had an "Earth Day" celebration, or gathering, today on nearby hill, the pilgrim place. Number of people from the villages and towns from the closest region. The children from kinderartens and schools have prepared some performance. I hoped for some great opportunities for groups topic, but it was eventually not so easy to achieve it. Here are my attempts.
First, the pupils are preparing to rush on stage and to start their performance.
Second, the spectators, in big number the families and friends of those who perform.

This cock was really evil, sharp as a razor. I was afraid to go near him, not speaking about my daughters. He was this proud when he chased away another competitor on the yard.

82 - Architecture
A part of the modern city hall in the district of Prague where I work. I like both its architecture and also the fact that it already has a public nickname "Laskonka", which perhaps cannot be translated but it is a sort of local favorite cookie and the building resembles it to some extent.
81 - New
Klara had a birthday yesterday. And we promised she would get a new bicycle. She had to try it out right on the parking lot. Brand new. Not a single speck of dust...

79 - White on White
It's getting warmer and the trees are beginning to show the first blossoms. And I thought, white petals against white sky - why not to make it a topic?
