Winters in the Bavarian forest can bring wonderful snow for cross-country skiing; not as steep as the Alps further south.   (Thanks again Alexey.) |

The Eurosian lynx <i>(Lynx lynx)</i> has a wonderfully thick winter coat. Maxicard for the set issued by Belarus for the WWF in 2000. Three of the four stamps show the lynx in winter.   Thanks Alexey for those snowy Russian scenes. I looked up Konstatin Yuon (1875-1958) and found that he had also painted in lovely colors in the impressionistic style. K. |

Just last November the Liechtenstein Post issued a set of four stamps featuring animals that have long been extinct in the country but have begun coming back from surrounding Austria and Switzerland. It is a WWF set and beautifully illustrated. This one I copied from the Post site and hope to get it soon.  |

Mount Parnassos has enough winter snow for skiing! And it isn't terribly far from Athens.   Alexey, is that you on the horse tackling the snowman?? |

The storming of a snow fortess is part of the Masljanitsa, a holiday before the Great Lent.  Now children in Russia build snow fortresses every time then the new snow falls. Because they do not have horses they have to break snow wall on their own. (I personally really like horseback riding in the winter and my album is full of wonderful winter photos with horses.) |

Snow petrels <i>(Pagodroma nivea)</i> are about as totally white as any bird can get. They are the most southerly-nesting birds of all and are not found north of the Antarctic. Even their nests can become snowed in.   Hi Alexey, Same goes for me. K. |
