Strandja, Bulgaria. 21st Mar, 2014. First day of spring is a busy day in the calendar as volunteer workers cut back trees and clean village centers, Bulgarians plough fruit gardens the traditional way by horse and plough, tying red and white woven threads (martenitsa ) to a branch of a blossoming fruit tree the symbol is for a good fruit crop for the coming year a tradition that remains almost unchanged today.
