 Chaenomeles is a genus of three species of deciduous spiny shrubs, usually 1–3 m tall, in the family Rosaceae. They are native to Japan, Korea, China, Bhutan, and Burma.
These plants are related to the quince (Cydonia oblonga) and the Chinese quince (Pseudocydonia sinensis), differing in the serrated leaves that lack fuzz, and in the flowers, borne in clusters, having deciduous sepals and styles that are connate at the base.
The species have become popular ornamental shrubs in parts of Europe and North America, grown in gardens both for their bright flowers and as a spiny barrier. Some cultivars grow up to 2 m tall, but others are much smaller and creeping.

Golden autumn

Those image that you will find here are the last ones from this year's autumn season. I will not bother you with long sentences about how beautiful this season could be, but I will let you decide for yourself.

In pursuit of a sunset

This was one of the hottest summer days for this month and I was waiting for the clock to strike 7:00 pm in order to go out and find myself a nice landscape shot. In the afternoon there were magnificent clouds and they gave med fake hope for a nice sunset scene. I prepared myself and went out with a hope in my heart.

Just when I went out I met this old men taking his horse for a walk and graze. I just snaped some shots to make my settings and adjustments. I’ve selected Aperture priority at my Nikon D3200, at f/11 and ISO 100, with daylight white balance.

Clouds

There is something very appealing in the clouds, don't you think? Since I was a kid - watching the clouds and their forms and shapes was one of my favorite things to do.
This first image is from a stormy evening in my town. The clouds were moving fast and soon after that there was a lightning storm.

This is the rest of the story that sits behind this image. 

It all started when I decided to buy my DSLR back in November 2015. My idea for this purchase was to be able to make better images of my village - Varbovchets. I wanted to make the perfect image that will describe the village. I was seeing the image in my mind as one that includes the century tree that is in the village. I tried many different angles of photographing it, but the nearby house and road limited me. 

Winter in Montana

The year 2017 starts with sun and warm weather in my town. Located in the North-West part of Bulgaria, Montana is a small town in witch January usually means - snow, cold and bad weather. Well few days after the beginning of the new year we got some serious amount of snow - over 35cm over one night.
It began to snow around 10:00pm on Thursday
