I was by the bell tower taking pictures of the eagles and saw a truck on the main byway, way in the distance. I just snapped a shot of the truck and did not think anymore about it. Then in a few minutes, the same truck appeared on this side of the river. Now that […]
I have Boza well trained to attack if anyone bothers my little garden. He got in trouble one time for running through the garden and from then on, he is a ferocious guardian of our food supply. Onions, beets and carrots; Oh My! We have a bunch of birds who have taken it upon themselves […]
Grab a cup of coffee and sit a spell, I am going to start a series of posts called, “The Russia I Live In!” Got a great shot of a beautiful fat Mallard. He actually seems to be a tame duck gone wild and was kinda holding out his hand for food. I told […]
I have been struggling with having a camera that is easy to carry. Boza and I walk a lot and when something happens that I want to record, I need a smaller camera. Well today I finally got the old Kodak working pretty good and just in time for a huge storm to come around… […]
The Big Village is the same as a county seat town in America. It houses many governmental buildings and departments for the local government. Most of the time, if you need to get business done, Сараях is the place you have to go and get it done. This village has a two big grocery stores […]

This is a huge bird, I hope to get a picture one day of a raven flying with the eagle. It is over twice as big as the ravens are and it is fun to watch as the eagles and ravens fly “loop de loop” sometimes. It is what makes life beautiful… I take literally […]

In the case of this video, I have no ability to understand how these birds are able to even function. Animals posses amazing skills in various ways. I many times feel that we humans are lacking in even the most […]
Boza and I took a two hour walk and here is what we discovered on that walk… I found it interesting that the guy at the fish shack was fishing in the pond for his breakfast. This was about 6 a.m and he is the worker that stays 24 hours a day, 7 days a […]
The big lake at the Fish Village has revamped the beach area. They are and have gone fancy. It is a busy beach, when it gets hot, but as you see right now it is empty. That is because it is 15 degrees Celsius right now and that is just too cold for most people. […]
