Our time. Many animals do not have a home. Many people simply kicked them out. Although they could give them away in good hands. Thousands of dogs and cats die every day, and all of these deaths are usually associated with Drugs. Why do people even dare I say throw away used syringes to drug addicts. We all understand that they are drug addicts, but it should be stopped. For this we must make a special school who can then think it's funny, but when you think We all want the animals to be with us. But if you think about what we give them, we are with them to do so. And then the animals - loyal creatures, they trust us, they think we do not hurt. But life is not a fairy tale, once the street dog died. Have you ever wondered which is why, of course not, you do not matter, what happened to her, you just bypass. Every life is important no matter who it is or what it is alive. And I will not let that they died. Drugs is harmful to all living creatures. Think about it I do not care, they are listed as endangered. It is a living creature.
Spring is a real celebration of flowers! Fragile snowdrops first make their way through the wet ground, side by side with melted wet snow, stick their heads out of the green leaves. And then crocuses enliven the brown earth with their bright yellow cups. After all, there is really no grass, and spring flowers are already modestly opening their ball.
The following are in a hurry to the ball flexible and slender tulips. They resemble pupae, they are so delicate, with a glossy patina, they have such soft petals. It seems to me that a tulip is a real symbol of a woman, not even a woman, but a young girl. They also joyfully pull up their heads, just as sadly lower their petals in sad moments.
And here the lilies of the valley bloomed in the front gardens. White bells with carved edges, similar to hats or caps. What appeals to me most in the lilies of the valley is that they are so pure and snow-white. And their wide leaves shine beautifully in the rays of the spring sun.
The spring ball is filled with a low from the ground medunitsa with blue and crimson flowers, a coltsfoot in a yellow dress and other small flowers. And how can you forget about fluffy balls of dandelions? These little suns on silky and fresh green grass - probably the main attribute of the spring flower ball.
Перевод:Весна – это настоящий праздник цветов! Хрупкие подснежники первыми пробиваются сквозь мокрую землю, соседствуют с подтаявшим мокрым снегом, высовывают головки из зеленых листочков. А потом и крокусы оживляют коричневую землю своими ярко-желтыми чашечками. Еще ведь и травы толком нет, а весенние цветы уже скромно открывают свой бал.
Следующими спешат на бал гибкие и стройные тюльпаны. Они напоминают куколки, такие они нежные, с глянцевым налетом, такие у них мягкие лепесточки. Мне кажется, тюльпан – это настоящий символ женщины, даже не женщины, а юной девушки. Они так же радостно тянут вверх головки, так же слегка грустно опускают лепесточки в печальные минуты.
А вот и зацвели в палисадниках домов ландыши. Белые колокольчики с резными краями, похожие на шапочки или чепчики. Больше всего меня в ландышах привлекает то, что они такие непорочные, белоснежные. А их широкие листья красиво просвечивают в лучах весеннего солнца.
Весенний бал наполняют невысокая от земли медуница с цветочками синими и малиновыми, мать-и-мачеха в желтеньком наряде, другие небольшие цветы. А о пушистых шариках одуванчиков как же можно забыть? Эти маленькие солнца на шелковистой и свежей зеленой траве – наверное, главный атрибут весеннего цветочного бала.
