Life...The Vivere

FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE 
May 10, 2012 

"Church/Savior, St. Petersburg, Russia...Gorgeous!" 

 

Writing you from St. Petersburg, Russia where we've seen some extraordinary sights, among them the Cathedral above. It's beautiful beyond words. More on the sights and sounds of Russia as the days pass...internet permitting. It's very slow and sometimes selects what it passes along :( ! But, I'll try, starting with this week's posting. 

For ART and SOLE's POSTCARD CHALLENGE 2012, we actually traveled to this part of the world...BULGARIA! This month, they'll be celebrating a national culture day as they pay homage to the two men who created the Bulgarian alphabet...pre-cyrillic! Read all about it on the message side of my postcard below.

Much of my challenge art was done on our long journey to get to Russia. I haven't been able to download them until now, though... internet service, as I said earlier, is somewhat limited.

In honor of Mother's Day... for family and friends who are mothers... and for readers I may not know yet who are mothers...THIS IS FOR YOU and for the CRAZY AMIGO blog challenge: Mother and Child...

SUNDAY POSTCARD ART challenged artists with a CHICKEN RUN theme...mine weren't running, just standing, sitting and perching!

TAKE A WORD's challenge blog was thinking about GENTLEMEN...always a fun subject for the ladies!! What is it that constitutes a "Gentleman?"

Finally, COLLAGE OBSESSION challenged us with the subject of DOORS...one of my personal favorite things to photograph!! I built the following scene to fulfill the challenge requirements...

I'm going to hurry and publish this while I still have internet power...here's hoping!! I wish you all a Happy Mother's Day (those of you to whom this applies...)  See you for my next posting...

Hugs,
