impressions of Sumy

I have been keeping a sketching journal since we've been here in Ukraine. Here are some of the sites that have impressed me:



These are the birch trees who are about to bloom, and the almost spring sunshine is shining down through the branches. These same branches will soon be a green canopy. I regret we will miss the entire blooming of spring. The brown is colored by the rich dirt of Ukraine. Black as smut.



Alicia and I were blessed by a visit from a little birdy.

Back out of nature and into technology...



We found a great movie here. For $7, but it won't play in "Zone 1" DVD players
