Христос Воскрес - Happy Easter



a typical yard full of flowers

  It is finally spring in Kolomaya.  We have been having an unusual spring with late snow-storms, strong cold wind-storms and cold rains but Vesna has overcome Winter and for the past few weeks the sun has been shining and warming the ground and the flowers are blooming.

I had a problem posting photo's in my last posting. I don't know if there is a bug or if someone has messed with my site. I restored my computer to a earlier date and all seems to be fine now so I will try to make the posts more regular. Taras.

I am including some photo's that didn't make it on the last posting.
