English. Everything around is penetrated with the sun light and warmth
Everything around is penetrated with the sun light and warmth. The green grass is shining with the brilliance of emerald. Only the lonely bench in the shadow will have been waiting for its visitors till the very evening. And in the evening may be a tired old man will sit down on it to have some rest or children run here to jump over it, or may be a couple of young lovers will have been dreaming here till the next morning. A piece of such a landscape I.I. Levitan preserved for us. The artist managed to show the May Day in all its splendour. There is no a cloud in the azure expanse of the sky. All villagers are now in the field. The air filled with the fragrance of the blossoming apple-trees is clean and limpid. This is a country-side in the middle part of Russia. The nature has awoken and come back to life. How beautiful the nature is in May when the orchards are blossoming! The sowing time is going on. The insects are buzzing above the flowers, the birds are merrily babbling in the orchard rejoicing at the long-waited spring.
