Friday Five and the beauty of winter





Good morning,
it's time again for Willy Nilly Friday Five and Five on Friday.
I'm also sharing this post with Scenic Weekends and All Seasons.

I

I'm glad, that I'm here today, I had many trouble with my pc again. 
On wednesday it totally break down. Nothing was still working.
Since december it stays slow and slower, two times it was normally again, but the problems always come back. Seems, the old card reader was not really the reason, we must search and search and already have checked all, but we find nothing.
Maybe it is the online-photoeditor: three times I've tried to use it and than
 begun the problems. Now, after my third visit of this site it becomes clearer, 
it's always after that. But what is it???
Have spended a lot of time with repairing works and can only hope,
 it stays working for the next days. Somehow very instabile...

Last friday I posted two songs by the Russian singer Valentina Levko.
I had searched the Largo from Xerxes of G.F. Händel and could not find it,
but I found an interview from 2016 (!) and I figured out, that she is still living. 
She has built a music school in Moscow and is still director there.
 I even know the street where it is.
She must be almost 90 years old.
That was an unexpected reunion!

Our winter has been very good with us so far. 
Some nights were -10 ° C (14°F), but during the day came the sun. 
There's a little snow, just so much to enjoy.
So I love wintertime!

The streets in town are snowfree and I can ride my bicycle.
This is the most important thing to maintain normal everyday life.
Ways are no problem for me until now.

On saturday we made a little walk and I want to share some nice winter photos.






























As a bonus here is a nice waltz by Georgi Sviridow from his 
"Musical Illustrations to the Snowstorm of A. Pushkin". 
I like this musical miniature



Have a wonderful weekend

  6. Lovely photos. I've been really trying to see the beauty in winter this year. It isn't my favourite season. I have found beauty including lovely ice covered beaches on walks. Gives me hope!

    Happy Five on Friday

  12. Your winter walk was just lovely. It's always nice when the sun comes out. I'm not a fan of snow but I do admit it looks pretty. - I'm glad you were able to ride your bike and the music at the end was so pleasant to listen to.

  13. Gosh you have a lot of snow! Your photos are very beautiful indeed. It has been very cold here too - often well below freezing - but we don't get much snow, just the cold!

  14. What fun! I loved the photos as much as the music. That would be great music to clean house by. Would definitely keep me moving.

    Hope your computer sheds its gremlins.

  15. Your snow pictures are lovely and that's how I like my snow, in pictures. Computers can be so frustrating! Mine is fairly new, but I don't like it nearly as well as the one it replaced and it's the same brand.

  16. Thank you for sharing the photos from your winter walk. Snow is so pretty. I enjoy the way it brightens up a winter landscape. Without it, everything would be rather dreary. Hope you get your computer problems fixed.

And beautiful snow captures Masha - I can tell you like snow (smile) - thank you so much for sharing them with us at ALL SEASONS! Have a stunningly snowy week:)
