Алматы, Парк выпускников (р-н Алмагуля)


2013-02-03| Raouf Bairashev

После полудня в парке пасмурно, сыро и слякотно. Видимо, из-за этого аллеи малолюдны, а синицы чуть не облепляют каждого пришедшего в надежде на "домашнюю" кормёжку. На виду несколько грачей и серых ворон, юрки, чёрные дрозды и красношапочные вьюрки. Изредка из куста в куст молча перелетает стайка из нескольких полевых воробьёв...
После 15 часов спускается слабый туман, "автофокус" на камере отказывается работать.
Домой!
