Hello!
My name is Popescu Dinu, I am a silviculturist engineer, an extraordinary job,
beautiful and interesting, and I practice it in the mountains of Bucovina.
In this way, I have the marvelous opportunity to meet almost daily, at every steep, an exceptional biodiversity.
Together with two wonderful boys, the brothers EMIL BODNARI and STELIAN BODNARI, great lovers of nature,
we thought to bring in your house the nature, of course with the help of the television.
Until you will decide to travel through the mountains of Bucovina and to observe what we see almost every day
the beauty in her own home – we wish you to enjoy the movie.
The long darkness of the winter night, when the absolute silence is predominating, is almost finished in the Bucovina’s woods, when April is coming.
The owl and the eagle owl are tired of night and are calling the animals to a meeting.
Come to take the light is the Christian appeal that we can listen in the churches and monasteries of Bucovina at the Rising,
the resurrection of Christ, the resurrection of nature.
The capercailzie “tetrao urogallus”, who lives nearer to the sky, hears the message only in the time of his silence.
He hears it only when he doesn’t make that specific sound, from a song named ‘tocilat’,
one hissing like sharpening a tool, followed by ‘toc-toc’ blocked sounds.
Its auditory, channels beeing under hissing pressure noises do not allow charging other sounds,
that the discreet observer can approach in this moments to these magnificent creatures to capture them in tenderness moments.
Rise and multiply and dominate the earth is another biblical message, addressed to people and animals, too.
The light makes the leaves active, the sap begins to circulate in the herbs, in the trees and to be transformed in energy.
Did Einstein, with his famous formula E=MXC2, consult a cuckoo?
Or did he elaborate this formula collaborating with an iris? Maybe the man didn’t conquest alone the space.
But do you believe that mister bear“Ursus arctos”, so hungry after the long abstinence of the winter, is very preoccupied of this problem?
He wants to find some young grass, some insects in the dead wood, expecting the wood berries and the sweet honey.
For the moment, he is content with these little things and he is glad to move his bones after the long winter sleep.
The deer, name“Capreolus capreolus”, is searching delicately the fresh grass.
The buck “Cervus elaphus” is nervous. He left the old but imposing antlers in February/March.
Now he is looking in the mirror of a spring and his new ornament gives him some comfort.
Is an extraordinary privilege to admire the hills of Bucovina,
dressed in a milky and protecting fog that are hiding and discovering the beauty of these unique places.
Let the imagination fly and look to Bucovina through the eyes of the hawk or through the eyes of a frightened and timid rabbit.
Or, better, look through the eyes of the woodpecker “Dryocopus martius”who lives and find food here,
protecting his home trough his life style.
This land, blessed by God with amazing views, comforts the soul and has a great variety of animals, offering a perfect home for the deer.
The savage lilac and the banal fern are example of the flower’s variety.
All kind insects are vibrating slowly between the multicolor flowers, caressing the ear.
Only an angry raven “Corvus corax” considerate himself a great artist,
exercising his voice for the contest invented by the fox that wanted to steal his cheese.
The echo of his broken song is transformed and softened in a natural regenerating of the young firs, in the shadow of the old trees.
The bucks are admiring him for his efforts.
The days and the nights, marked by spectaculars sunrises and sundown and by the amazing moon,
are passing one after another like in a perpetuum mobile.
In a short time, the senseless and iced winter will send her heralds.
Until then, the animals have to be healthy and good alimented, in order to resist it.
From the wood altar, recently decorated with fresh leaves of beech, the singers bring odes to the greatness of the resurrected nature.
An young family is working hard to prepare the nest for the future members.
A crazy cuckoo is looking for his shoe, singing his name all the time.
The group of deer stops to listen, manifesting their compassion for his solitude.
The leader, a female with better instincts, is listening with her all being.
Her attention assures the integrity of the group, advising her girls to keep close and to not remain alone like the unhappy bird.
A little wizard is frightened by an old owl, a night bird, to lazy and to tired to see someone during the day.
Active and restless, the bee is singing slowly during it is collecting the nectar and transforming it into sweet honey.
The clever bumblebee is acting like he would be very active too.
A little insect from the top of a plant believes he can reach the sky.
Not far but in another dimension, a snail is stopping after a long journey around an old deformed tree, a former love.
The goal of the snail is the champignon“Boletus edulis”, occupied now by another pretender, smaller but hungrier.
He didn’t want to climb until the appetizing champignon of the old tree, with a smooth and green beard.
The nocturne owl looks very angry that the other animals have another program and are disturbing his sleep.
On the shore of a fresh river, in a little lake very agitated, a frenetic battle takes place.
A bored salamander is trying to escape of the frog in love.
The love can be suffocating too, sometimes.
A young spruce wood offers apparently precarious conditions for life.
But a group of bees, profiting of a wound in the spruce wood, is working hard and insistently in order to build a home.
The strict organization of the family imposes precise tasks, and the bees that are transporting the pollen are working to sacrifice.
At the limit of the vegetation, in the subalpine area, in the fresh green,
appears grandiose and coloring the wood peony ”Rhododendron kotschai”
The area of the alpine pasture offers and amazing panorama, smooth hills dressed in an angelical light.
A little deer, burn with a day before, smooth and helpless,
is confounding with the colors of the wood in order to hide, a phenomena named homochromia.
After the first unsecure steps, he becomes master of his own life and his own feet,
and he is calling for his mother, manifesting his curiosity.
From a hill, a young buck don’t seem disturbed by the evident asymmetry of his horns.
He looks right and proud, searching the horizon, believing that the next horns will be more imposing.
Only the clever fox loosed his dexterity and now is meditating at existential problems,
but the philosophic stone is receiving the form of a fat mouse, his lunch.
The color of the summer months is richened by the Arnica montanum“Arnica montana”, “ranunculus acer“,“myosotis”,
and is exploding into another solar flower, pojarnita or sunatoarea “Hypericum perforatum”,
which emanates the power and the heat of the supreme star.
All to the comfort of the thoughtful butterflies, and for the radiant joy of all flowers.
Leave now the cares, the thoughts and feel the soul full of the beauty of the flowers,
that join us in moments of happiness and solemnity.
In the sweet melody of the leaves of a poplar“Populus tremula”, a little woodpecker“Dendrocopos”,
happy like every young people, is expecting for her parents with food.
In the evening, from the edge of the wood, the young deer with their mother are searching the protection of the wood.
The deep melody of life will decrease until the night, tomorrow will be a new beginning.
