#Wetlands explorers.

This is definitely not a moon.

#Polesia

An important messsage to those who think of coming to visit us – don't.

Strange bedfellows.

Domino effect.

The saddest #GlobalWarming story: For sale: baby skates, never worn.

Yes, we used to skate here many winters ago.

If a pack of wolves is eating grass it's called a herd of wolves, right?

Moss pipeline. Definitely better than an oil pipeline.

Our wetlands have many sources of pungent stuff Pietruszka likes to roll in, so we sometimes call her Stinkerbell, or, in Polish, usrałka.

Our wetland meadow is almost dry and soon we'll be able to walk here.

Vuko, the park inspector. The national park is off limits, but the road ahead is outside the park.

Walk in the forest? Wade in the water? Why not both at once?

Bruno is the reason why our wetlands are drying up.

Pietruszka destroying the forest, as usual.

Scarlet elf cups are starting to appear in the forest. Few things in #Polesia are as dangerous as drunken elves.

There be monsters in those swamps.

A bever lodge in the #wetlands of #Polesia. Beavers decided that a patch of plastic sheet used to reinforce a nearby levee would be useful to them too.

Go back to sleep, toad, it's way too early

For a few years I posted lies about #Polesia on Twitter. Now I'm thinking of resurrecting them here. Many of them were puns in Polish, practically impossible to translate. Some had cultural references that need explanation, but I'm willing to explain them – I have much more space here.

This was the first lie:

Szerszenie próbujące się dostać do butelki z piwem można łatwo odstraszyć naśladując dźwięki polującego nietoperza.

Hornets trying to get inside a bottle of beer can be easily scared of by imitating the sounds of a hunting bat.
