Green grass clean fresh air. Air and grass... What could be simpler, more necessary? Fresh air is good for digestion
And we do not dream of the roar of the spaceport, Not this icy blue, But we dream of grass, grass near the house, Green, green grass ...
There is an accurate human observation: we notice the air when it begins to be missed, that is, we do not value it. So wrote Vladimir Soloukhin in the twentieth century. Indeed, we do not value the air and do not think about it while we breathe normally and without hindrance.
But still, it happens that we enjoy when it pulls warm moisture from the south, when it is washed by the May rain, when it is ennobled by lightning discharges. There are the sweetest, most precious breaths of air that are memorable for a lifetime.
The air has nothing closer than the grass. We are used to the fact that the world is green. We walk, crush, trample in the mud, rip off with caterpillars and wheels, cut with shovels, scrape off with bulldozer knives, tightly slam concrete slabs, fill with hot asphalt, fill up with iron, cement, plastic, brick, paper, rag rubbish. We pour gasoline, fuel oil, kerosene, acids and alkalis on the grass. We fall asleep not a person - grass. Will grow elsewhere. Such is our relationship with nature!
I read a touching story about a blade of grass. Prison, prisoner, prisoner in solitary confinement. They bring him a pile of books, he began to read them and suddenly saw that a tiny seed had stuck to the book page. The prisoner carefully separated this seed and put it on a sheet of paper. He looked at the seed with different eyes than we do. Then suddenly a jar of earth appears in his cell. With trembling hands, the man lowered the seed into the ground of a cracked, worthless pot. Leaving some water in his mug, he waters the black earth. The seed sprouted, which made the man very happy.
This great miracle - a miracle to which we are so accustomed because it always happens around us in a million-billion repetition, began to happen and unfold in front of the shocked prisoner, as a reward for his attention and patience. The soul of the prisoner froze. The happy sower watched the development of the plant, as a slow motion camera watches, in the lens of which the leaves clearly unfold and the buds of flowers open. It was a strawberry. The prisoner, in his later published memoirs, claimed that in his life, neither before prison nor after prison, he had a fuller and sharper joy than that given to him by strawberries that grew in a broken bowl.
A breath of air when a person is suffocating. A green living blade of grass when a person is completely cut off from nature. Actually, it's grass. Scrap it with bulldozer knives, fill it with garbage, fill it with hot asphalt, drown it with concrete, douse it with oil, trample on it, destroy it, despise it ... Meanwhile, caressing a person’s eye, pouring quiet joy into his soul, softening his temper, bringing peace and rest - that’s one thing of the side-appointments of every plant, and especially of a flower. Some oriental sage taught: if you want to be healthy, look as much as possible at green grass, at flowing water and at beautiful women. And then he said: "If you do not look at the green grass and flowing water, you will not want to look at women by itself."
To lie on the grass... To sink down, roll over backwards, spread out your arms - there is no other way to completely drown and dissolve in the blue sky than when you are lying on the grass. But why exactly on the grass? Well, if you don't like it, lie down on a dusty road, on a brick, on scraps of iron, on a heap of mineral fertilizer, on knotty boards. You can, of course, spread a raincoat on the ground, but it is better on the grass. These minutes will become, perhaps, memorable moments of your life. Try to lie down in the rye: below is a green half-light, cool silence, freshness, smelling of young juicy rye, and above the blue sky and the song of a lark above you ...
A plant is a living being that is born, grows, matures, blossoms, fertilizes, bears fruit, grows old, and finally dies. In spring and summer, plants are fragrant with aromas, exude esters. God created the Earth and everything that grows and lives on it. Five hundred and thirty thousand species of plants grew on planet Earth, and each had its own purpose. But today we do not have clean water and clean air, the world's oceans and the earth's atmosphere are deteriorating, the green cover of the earth is being destroyed and damaged. We, people living on earth, do not consider ourselves saboteurs, but imagine ourselves to be friends of nature.
Grass - hay, grass - flowers, grass - ant, grass - beauty, grass - food, grass - clothes, grass - building material, gap-grass, plakun-grass, tryn-grass, grass is an integral part of nature, grass is a mystery nature, grass - life ...
Green is the color of life. If the green turns, for example, into brown, then this means that the plant has fulfilled its mission and goes into another state in the form of fertilizer for the earth, but this is not garbage, but the nutrition necessary for the soil.
My good advice to dear readers: read what is useful and necessary for your proper development, primarily spiritual. I offer books by Vladimir Soloukhin "Collected Works" (I - IV volumes), Alexander Savrasov "Knowledge of the Primary Sources" (I - V books), Vladimir Megre "Ringing Cedars of Russia" (I - X books). Shake off the age-old dust and be sure to read.
Take care of the grass, trees,
After all, they also want to live,
Every plant has a soul
which came from God.
The idea of improving the planet's ecosystem with the help of vertical gardens and gardens on the roofs of houses has long been embodied in many cities around the world.
But you can add even more greenery to the streets of our cities with green roofs in public transport.
A phyto-kinetic project for greening the roofs of buses was proposed by biologist Marc Grañén from Spain. This project is reported by the environmental news site urbangardensweb.com

Marc Grañén calls himself a landscape painter. His concept of clean air in cities - the free roofs of buses should be bright from flowering vegetation and saturate the air with oxygen, and not just exhaust gases.
Two years ago, a similar project was already proposed by NYU graduate student Marco Antonio Castro Cosio’s. But Marc Grañén is more successful than his predecessor.
The idea of the Spanish biologist Marc Grañén received the approval and support of leading scientists and engineers in the field of environmental projects.
Mark's phyto-kinetic project is more practical, and his way of planting gardens on the roofs of buses is more advanced, although it will take the test of time.
For styling rooftop gardens The Marc Grañén bus uses 7 cm thick hydroponic foam, which is much lighter than soil. This significantly reduces the load on the roof of the bus.

The hydroponic system is supported on the roof with a perforated stainless steel grid. Waterproofing is also well thought out, it seals the roof and does not allow moisture to leak.
Photo by Marc Granen
for irrigation rooftop gardens condensate from the air conditioning systems in the bus will be used.
Usually the condensate is wasted, and in the case of a green roof, the water will water the plants. The hotter the weather, the more condensation will occur.
On cool days, you can drive through special car washes, where there are no top brushes and soap suds, so as not to damage the plants, or water by hand.
Green carpets on the roofs may have a unique design for a different type of transport, and the climatic conditions of the regions will also be taken into account and plants that grow in this climate will be planted.
Photo by Marc Granen
For many skeptics, Mark's project is utopian because there are too many "buts" in the implementation of this idea. And first of all, it concerns the safety of vehicles with green roof in case of emergencies and unforeseen situations.
But Mark believes that the more people support his idea, the cleaner the air in our cities will be, and green roofs will become part of the urban culture.
rooftop gardens, green roofs urban transport, vertical gardens, and as a result of common efforts - a revived green planet. It sounds optimistic, perhaps it will be, but there is a long way to translate the phyto-kinetic project into everyday life.
Nature cannot be caught sloppy and half-dressed, she is always beautiful.
Ralph Emerson
Why is it necessary to protect nature? I think, probably, everyone has ever asked this question.
From birth, a person touches the world of animate and inanimate nature. In childhood, we are more attached to the wonderful world of nature: we admire the bright petals of flowers, we run with delight on the green grass. I am no exception, from early childhood I like to relax in nature: go to the forest, swim in the river. Recently, river banks and forests have become so polluted that it is painful to watch.
It's all the fault of us humans.
Now there is a lot of talk about the deterioration of the environmental situation. Ecological circles and groups are organized in schools. I care about our future, the future of our generations, so I signed up for the environmental squad. At the lessons of the ecological circle, we are told about the situation in the world around us, about how easy it is to disturb the balance in nature and how difficult it is to restore it. Fortunately, nature is very intelligently arranged, it can recover itself, only slowly. Time is the only thing that nature lacks with unreasonable human behavior.
Mankind in pursuit of new technologies, their improvement, profit exterminated many animals, some species of which are lost forever, or only a few remain. The predator, chasing the animal, wants one thing - to eat. He won't kill more than he needs to. And there is harmony and balance in this. Man destroys everything he sees, he needs more and more. And as a result, he will destroy all living things.
We breathe like all living beings, inhaling oxygen from the air and exhaling carbon dioxide. But the oxygen content in the atmosphere largely depends on plants. It is plants that enrich the air with oxygen during photosynthesis! How long has mankind not thought about this, destroying forests, plowing up steppes, draining swamps.
It is impossible to teach everyone to take care of nature in one day. It takes time, perhaps generations. If now every person observes cleanliness, at least in his yard, in the forest where he walks, at the place of study or work, how much everything around will change!
I hope that the time will come when people will come to their senses and move on from the destruction of the earth. We must not forget that we are part of nature. And our planet is not a one-time use.
Why you need to protect nature.
The nature of our Motherland is very beautiful. Its forests, fields, groves and meadows are beautiful. Trees and shrubs grow in the forests of central Russia, some of which are listed in the Red Book. They are very useful not only for animals, but also for humans. In the forests of the Far East, for example, sea buckthorn grows. In reference books twenty years ago, it was listed as wild. At present, it can be considered a cultivated plant, it is bred in gardens, and the most useful medicinal oil is made from sea buckthorn. Sea buckthorn is bred to strengthen the soil in vegetable gardens, and for decorative purposes - golden-yellow "cobs" of its ripe fruits are very beautiful. Scientists know that this berry is rich in active substances: oil, carotene, vitamins. Is it one sea buckthorn! Nature has given us many useful plants.
Not all people take care of nature: they make fires in the forests, cut down Christmas trees for the New Year, throw garbage into rivers and lakes, waste from factories and factories often also end up in water bodies. And because of this, many fish die, sometimes very valuable species.
If people do not understand that nature needs to be protected, then not only fish will die, but also animals and birds. Plants will not be healthy. As a result, cows, sheep, goats will have nothing to eat.
There will be no dairy and meat products in stores. People will have nothing to breathe, as the environment will be spoiled. Therefore, it is very important to protect nature, to properly organize the work of factories and factories.
Protect the environment!
Why you need to protect nature.
Nature is necessary for man to live. If we do not take care of nature, then people will begin to die from various diseases and even environmental disasters.
During their lives, people heavily pollute forests, seas, rivers, lakes. Some people think that nothing bad will happen from their bag of garbage thrown into a pond. What if 100 people think so? And it turns out that at the bottom of the rivers you can find fragments of broken bottles, pieces of torn bags and other garbage unnecessary for nature. People breathe environmentally polluted air from plants and factories, drink polluted water. Do we really want to live like this?
Vice versa. We want to come for mushrooms and berries in a clean forest. Listen to birds singing. Birds are part of our nature. They add charm to forests, gardens and groves, they are the best decoration of city parks. Birds transform the landscape and make it joyful and pleasant with their singing. However, people should remember that birds, fish, and animals will not be able to live in a dirty environment. Therefore, the Red Book was created, protecting the flora and fauna of our Motherland from destruction.
It cannot be said that humanity does nothing at all to preserve the ecology on the planet. People are building treatment facilities, creating nature reserves, planting trees. It is simply necessary that there be more such people, so that each of us, according to his abilities, makes at least a small contribution to nature protection. Nature is the most important wealth given to mankind.
Let's take care of her!
In an ultramodern city in an ultramodern country lived ultramodern people. They lived in multifunctional, ultra-modern houses, where the lights turned on at the click of a button, and the appliances started with one word.
Along with people, robots walked and drove along the streets of the city. The same ultra-modern and heaped up, like everything around. All plants in this city were artificial, created according to the most complex schemes. Animals - were the result of the work of designers.
But there was one trouble that the scientists of the ultra-modern city could not solve in any way. Life in the human biological body did not last very long. Ultramodern drugs did not help. It was not possible to invent a universal fuel for the human body. People could not be "refueled". Moreover, they had to buy oxygen and water, which affected the budget of an ultramodern state.
For some reason, modern man strives for such a fictional life. He forgot that HE is a biological being, a living being, a part of NATURE. And only a living environment can provide him with a long painless life. NATURE.
Man is often called the creator, the crown of nature. What kind of creator is he? He can only create thanks to nature. From what nature gives him. What kind of crown is he? Weak, small, sick... He is unable to protect himself from natural disasters or deadly disease. He knows the history of the emergence of states and countries, the emergence of terrible infections; knows why it is necessary to study viruses, how to preserve external youth. He knows a lot of things ... But he does not begin to live longer.
Why is it necessary to protect nature?
Air
Clean, fresh. For a person, it is better than an expensive perfume fragrance. Every cell in the human body needs oxygen. Without a breath of air, a person dies.
People living in huge industrial centers are more likely to experience fatal diseases, age faster, and more often give birth to genetic freaks. After all, they breathe smog, smoke from factory chimneys, exhaust fumes from millions of cars.
Clean air requires green forests. And a person forgets about this, thoughtlessly harvesting wood for his needs.
Fresh air must be protected from factories and plants. And the entrepreneur does not want to spend money on expensive treatment equipment.
The air cannot remain clean in the presence of a large amount of exhaust gases. And motorists buy low-quality cheap fuel, save on the repair of their cars. Moreover, there are no restrictions on the quantity of equipment, no requirements for its quality.
Water
A person needs clean water as well as clean air. And where can I get it?
If enterprises dump their waste into natural water bodies.
If a person drains swamps and lakes for his own purposes.
If, due to human activity, the ozone holes are so large that the climate has changed. Springs, streams, rivers dry up on their own.
If the thoughtless use of groundwater leads to the disappearance of these sources of drinking liquid.
Food
Healthy food is already very expensive. But consumer use of natural resources, soils, will soon make natural food inaccessible.
We will eat GMOs and synthetic products. Health from them does not increase.
We are like those fools on a ship on the high seas who themselves poisoned all the food, threw all the water overboard, and then made a hole in the hold of their ship.
Thinking about tomorrow
Why is it necessary to protect nature? Stories are known and mass extinctions, and global warming, and ice ages, and volcanic eruptions, and earthquakes. But all this was subject to natural natural processes. Therefore, the Earth survived and survived.
A person spends the blessings granted to him unreasonably, thoughtlessly. One gets the impression that he had forgotten about tomorrow. After the evil brought by a human being, nature cannot recover on its own.
Yes, the wind carries the seeds of plants, the birds help him. And soon a forest will grow in a new place. But it takes time. But Nature does not have this time. Man too quickly cuts down forests and cultivates soils, uprooting "extra" trees. Therefore, to grow a new forest is already his task, the Man.
Keep the air clean.
Since a person drives cars and builds factories and plants.
And after all, much is not required of a Human. You don't even have to give up the blessings of civilization. You just need to THINK about the future.
Medicine has come a long way, but in the modern world, due to constant stress, haste and high pace of life, there are still many health risks. More and more people are beginning to think about this problem and monitor the work of their body. However, a balanced diet, regular exercise in the gym and the rejection of bad habits will not give the desired effect if insufficient oxygen enters the body. What is the use of fresh air, where to find it and how to breathe properly? Let's figure it out.
Surely you have noticed how, getting out of a stuffy room to the street, you become like a different person. Feeling better, sharpness of mind and good mood return, there is a surge of strength. It is clear why this happens: after all, fresh air is necessary for the brain and every cell of the body. What other benefits does fresh air bring? Let's consider a few points:
- Improves digestion. This advantage is very helpful if you want to get in shape and lose weight - of course, provided that you are active in the fresh air: walking, jogging or exercising.
- If you find that a cup of coffee no longer helps to cheer up - do not be surprised. Perhaps it provokes. When you give your brain more fresh air, the body can function more efficiently. Then you will think clearly and act with lightning speed.
- If you have problems with blood pressure, fresh air is essential. Many doctors advise leisurely walks to normalize pressure - especially for hypertensive patients.
- The immune system is strengthened. To protect the body from pathogenic bacteria and viruses, white blood cells require a certain amount of oxygen, which can be found in fresh air. Therefore, many lovers of long walks, as a rule, are less likely to get colds.
- Fresh air is good for health and strengthening the whole organism as a whole: it improves the functioning of blood vessels, lungs, heart and other organs.
It becomes clear that the impact of fresh air on health is invaluable - for both adults and children. Irritability, overwork, lack of initiative, laziness, nervous breakdowns - all this disappears when we breathe in the “right” air. Therefore, try to enjoy the time spent on walks and get the most out of it. This may not be easy, because sometimes we think that we should not be distracted from important work on the promenade. But it is very important to take at least five-minute breaks from business and “ventilate”. This will help you regain your previous concentration and allow you to work much more efficiently.
We spend most of the day indoors. Many find themselves outside only for 5 minutes - when they leave the house and get into the car. But the benefits of walking in the fresh air are extremely significant:
- First, as we said above, oxygen has a positive effect on our health and mood.
- Secondly, such a gentle physical activity, like ordinary walking, will not take much strength, but the effect will still be noticeable.
- And finally, every walk is a new emotion! You can wander into amazing places in your hometown that you have never seen before, think about plans for the future or meet interesting people.
That's why regular walks in the fresh air are useful. Only they are often limited to going to the grocery store once a month. Meanwhile, scientists and doctors say that every day a person should walk at an average pace of at least five kilometers.
What to do if on a working day, due to a busy schedule, you can’t find time for a full walk? First, you should try to walk to work - or at least walk part of the way if the job is on the other side of the city. Lunch breaks should also be spent actively, walking in the nearest grove and admiring nature. You can "recoup" on the weekend: call friends or family for a walk, go out of town or to the country. A good way to get not only the necessary dose of oxygen, but also a lot of new experiences is traveling. It is not necessary to spend sky-high money on luxury resorts - it is enough to go to a neighboring city to change the situation.
If you love animals, get yourself a walking companion! Among the "dog lovers" there are often very fit and healthy people: after all, they walk a lot and play with their four-legged comrades, thus showing physical activity.
If you lead a sedentary lifestyle and are not used to physical activity, do not try to go around the whole city in a day. Start with short walks of 15 minutes, gradually increasing the time. Then the walk will bring not only benefit, but also pleasure!
To find the load you need, use the pedometer. You can buy a "smart" bracelet that reads your physical activity, or download a special application to your smartphone.
Looking for fresh air: from the mountains of the Caucasus to your own home
Fresh air doesn't always equal outdoor air. Finding it in large cities is not an easy task, as natural freshness is destroyed by tobacco smoke, urban smog, car exhaust, etc. So you need to choose the right place for a walk.
It's no secret that walking in the fresh air through a forest area is more beneficial than walking along a busy highway. Indeed, many trees (for example, fir, poplar, juniper) emit phytoncides - substances with a strong bacterial effect. In Japan, for example, there is even a special term "shinrin-yoku", which means "forest baths". Residents of the land of the rising sun, practicing "bathing", claim that walking in the forest improves health and mood.
The benefits of walking through the forest are obvious to everyone. Is mountain air good for you? Certainly! Surely you have heard some small stories in the news about long-lived highlanders: after all, the mountain climate is practically free from dust, exhaust gases and industrial waste. However, due to the low air pressure in the mountains, there is much less oxygen. Then why does a person feel full of energy when he goes to a mountain resort or hikes to snowy peaks? The answer is simple: when the amount of oxygen in the inhaled air decreases, the body's reserve forces come into play. Improves blood circulation, lung and chest function. But it’s better not to overdo it with height: there is always a risk of hypoxia, and it can lead to loss of consciousness.
If you stay in a closed, unventilated area for a long period of time, you will breathe the same air over and over again. will rise
June-Khleborost. Nature woke up by the beginning of summer and now its active growth is coming, therefore the month is called - Khleborost. The rye is earing, the gardens are filled with vigorously blooming greenery. The sun rises high above the sky and begins to bake even stronger, the day becomes long, and the evening is long and warm.
June: warmth envelops the earth
Description of the nature of summer at its very beginning, in June (I - II week).
Summer has come. June. Nature blooms and ripens in summer, the gardens are full of greenery, the meadows are covered with a wide train of green grass. Heavy cumulus clouds soar slowly in the sky, like huge ships. And although the month of May at the end indulged in warm and summer-like hot days, the first days of June are often cool, sometimes rainy. You should not be upset, because the protracted cloudy weather at the beginning of the month is not for long. A dry anticyclone will bring warm winds, and the high sun in the sky will provide warm and hot weather. In June, the air temperature is moderate without sharp jumps and averages +15 +17 ° C.
Summer needs time to heat up. There are still long hot, sultry and simply warm pleasant days ahead, when the sun wakes up early and sets very slowly, giving plenty of work up before plunging into twilight. And here the sun begins to bake, hot days come. The greenery is in full bloom, endowing with edible herbs. The sky is blue and clear, from time to time fluffy clouds float across it. Warm air exudes the aroma of flowering.
And, suddenly, unexpectedly, the hot summer sun is replaced by the approaching clouds. The sky is rapidly darkening. After all, there had just been the sun, and now it was swallowed up by formidable darkness, advancing in front, covering all living things in darkness. Nature is on the alert, the birds calm down, only strong gusts of wind grow stronger each time, ready to pluck the branches from the tops of the trees on their way.
Thunder strikes with the first volleys, and then, with water like from a bucket, it charges a downpour. The sky is not visible, only the reflections of lightning with a crackle alternate with peals of thunder. The storm subsides as suddenly as it began. The sky is brightening, lightning flashes are becoming less frequent, thunder is receding. The first rays of the sun peep through, brightly reflected in the puddles. And again the life of the summer forest comes to life, the birds chirp happily, the animals come out of their hiding places. Meanwhile, in the forest, in the most hidden dark places, the first mushrooms appear.
Beginning of summer in the folk calendar
"The swallow begins the morning, and the nightingale ends the evening"
At the very onset of summer, from ancient times in Russia, a unique rite "the cuckoo's baptism" was performed. After the complete departure of winter, cold winds and bad weather, it was necessary to appease the summer nature for new plant forces, good weather and a noble harvest. In ancient Russia, the description of summer from the first days was like this. Early in the morning on the first Sunday of summer, Russian girls went into the forest to find orchid grass - they called it cuckoo's tears, and then, plucked it, carried it to the hut to sew outfits, each for its own cuckoo. Then the cuckoos cummed, meeting each other, people hugging and kissing. After all, becoming related to each other, becoming closer, together they brought the generosity of summer closer to themselves.
Bread sprouts in June, not for nothing that the month of June was called "grain-growing". Throughout the first ten days of the month, active sowing took place in the fields, starting from the days of Falaley-Borage and Olena, June 2 and 3, from the names of which it is clear that cucumbers, flax, belated wheat, as well as barley and buckwheat were planted these days. On June 7, aphids appeared, feeding on plant sap, releasing honeydew. By June 11, ears of bread were already rising on Fedosya-Chariot, by this time beans were planted. From the earliest dawn until late sunset, people worked in the field in order to be in time before the end of the sowing, which fell on the second half of June on the day of the equinox.
Summer in Russian poetry
Summer… One of the most amazing, beautiful and vibrant seasons. Summer nature is special, impressive. Everyone associates summer with something of their own: sounds, smells, sensations. These are juicy meadow grasses, the aroma of wildflowers and even dusk, the coolness of a spruce forest. All the natural splendor of summer is reflected in the work of famous Russian poets. They devoted a huge number of romantic, exciting lines to the beautiful time.
A real hymn to awakening nature is Sergei Yesenin's ode to a summer morning. Its summer is warm, washed with silvery dew, charming in its calmness. This delightful natural idyll shatters every day with the onset of the day into fragments of everyday worries, in order to be reborn again the next morning.
Golden stars dozed off,
The mirror of the backwater trembled,
Light shines on the river backwaters
And blushes the grid of the sky.
Sleepy birches smiled,
Tousled silk braids.
Rustling green earrings,
And silver dews are burning.
The wattle fence has an overgrown nettle
Dressed in bright mother-of-pearl
And, swaying, he whispers playfully:
"Good morning!"
Afanasy Fet in his work deeply describes nature in the summer, in particular, the lines of the poem "I came to you with greetings ..." evoke an association with the maturity of feelings, relationships. The allegory of the lines conveys the special sharpness of life and semantic fullness through romantic feelings, the lightness of being and the aura of carelessness.
I came to you with greetings
Say that the sun has risen
What is hot light
The sheets fluttered;
Tell that the forest woke up
All woke up, each branch,
Startled by every bird
And full of spring thirst;
Tell that with the same passion
Like yesterday, I came again
That the soul is still the same happiness
And ready to serve you;
Tell that from everywhere
Joy blows over me
I don't know what I will
Sing - but only the song matures.
Summer is different. Everyone sees it in their own way, sometimes experiencing mixed and conflicting, but invariably strong feelings.
June: the sun is turning
Description of the summer nature of June (III - IV week).
The lilac continues to bloom, the smell of fresh grass spreads through the districts. Summer nature fills the air with herbal incense. The poplar has already spread its fluff in the seeds, just to wait for the light gusts of wind that carry new life around. In the forest, in stalls and ponds, the smell of spices spreads, no longer floral, but sweet herbal.
The greens are ripening with might and main, and now the strawberries have hatched by the end of the month. And blueberries are already keeping up with her, just have time to collect. In the morning, the cry of swallows is heard, in the afternoon frogs croak in the reservoirs, and the evening ends with the lullaby of a nightingale. This time describes summer nature as the most fertile warm time of the year for working in the field, evening walks and nightly gatherings around the fire.
A white blizzard of poplar fluff rushes through the park alleys with a light wind, a kind of winter in fluffy warm snows. The clearings are covered with white heads of hordes of dandelions, as if hundreds of small astronauts have landed on the ground. Just about the wind, shaking the dandelions from side to side, will pluck the seeds in parachutes and carry them home. The squeak of chicks is heard, coming from the crowns of trees, parents barely have time to feed the voracious maturing chicks. The young growth grows quickly, you will not notice how it will already jump out of the nest, once or twice and flew.
The second half of the month in the folk calendar
"The sun from Petra-turn softens the course, the month goes to profit"
In June, a variety of plants, medicinal herbs bloom, Ivan da Marya rises, at every step plantains, buttercups, Ivan Chai is smoothed by warm winds. Forest edges crumble in juicy points of berries. In the forest, you can pick up a lot of ripe strawberries, and a little later, wild strawberries will turn red on the bushes higher.
June 25 is the day of the solstice. From now on, the sun turns in the direction of shorter days. Now, in the morning, cold dew covers the grass low above the ground. This natural water can be drunk, because it is very pure, collected from the settled air vapors, summer dew does not contain salt deposits. At the end of June, on the 29th, Tikhon comes, and, indeed, the sun shortens its course, yes, and the birds subside. The sun slowly, with unhurried steps, hangs in the sky. Only in the shade of the shelter of deciduous trees is there salvation from the incandescent rays growing in strength. Summer turns into hot July.
Summer in Russian painting
Russian artists convey the picture of the summer landscape in a very colorful and varied way. Here you can see majestic green trees, and an eared field, and an unusual turquoise sky with light gentle white clouds.
(Painting by B. V. Shcherbakov "June in the Moscow region")
The description of summer nature is unusually colorful in B. V. Shcherbakov's painting "June in the Moscow Region", which depicts the real greenery of the forest. From the front right corner into the depths of the picture, meandering along the laid channel, lies the smooth surface of the river. On both sides of it are mighty trees, it seems that these are pines mixed with hardwoods. To the right, almost by the river, a slender birch stands alone. In the foreground on the left are stacks of harvested hay. The upper part of the picture is occupied by a clear sky, on which only fluffy white clouds are visible.
