Winter
The winter season is full of beautiful scenes. It brings cold days and beautiful snowy landscapes.It often
snows. We can see and catch snowflakes falling from the sky. The weather is cold and frosty. The air is fresh. The ground is covered
with deep snowdrifts. Lakes and rivers are frozen. Trees and bushes are covered
with the silver scarf. You can see birds which have flown from other places.
The winter landscape blows the happy and the sad mood at the same time. It is
one of the most beautiful seasons.
How do you like our winter in Ukraine?
