The Last Snow - The First Flowers!

We took these two pictures in the same park last Saturday (3d of April 2010).

Our dog Boza still wants to play in the snow:

And there are first flowers just a little bit further:

A Day of Mourning in Russia!

Svetlana travels this Metro almost everyday of her life and today she captured on film a Moscow in mourning.

One of the little known facts about this Metro bombing was that most of the victims are young adults suffering from massive internal injuries. That is because this was also known as the University line. (At least that is what I call it.) Students are traveling to the Moscow University to attend classes...

The massive internal injuries where caused in part by the fact that the explosives were designed on purpose to have excess shrapnel in them. The plastic explosive was embedded with nails, nuts, bolts and other small metal objects. Then when the explosion goes off it sends hundreds of projectiles in all directions to maximize injuries and death...

The dead and injured include students from around the world also. That information will be brought out later in time.

Meeting of Great Minds on a Corner in Moscow, Russia!

Svet loves to take pictures and that love for taking pictures sometimes gets her some interesting looks. On this day Svet came across a group of men having a meeting of great minds or something...

Looks like they minded all right...

Time to go says Svet....

Paint The Trees In Russia!

I remember along time ago in America it was very common to paint the trees trunks white with a chalk paint. Just like they do in Russia.

Every once in a while in America you still see someone do this.

In Russia it is done at the start of spring everywhere and I think it looks great.

So clean and nice...

Tree Of Russia: The White Birch!

In Russia you have forests of this tree. Along roads the White Birch is planted in rows.

People in Russia drink Birch juice for health.
