Dog Love

 Sometimes you can find the oddest things in Moldova.  This is one I bought.  It's for the dog.  She's a whole lot of love.


Other Than Green

I managed to add in some colors other than green this time.  There's some dark gray and some peach.

Bits Of Brasov

 This set of photos is from walking around the park near the city hall in Brasov.

Cracking An Egg

Because of my geographical location I couldn't resist joining ANG's Ukrainian Egg workshop.  There are seven eggs, and this is the beginning of the first.

Little Squares

I've started back in on this, and I know it will go fairly quickly now.  I've been working on the squares around the central square and like the color combination.

Little Surprises

Sometimes showing interest and knowing a little of the language makes a big difference.  We found this out repeatedly in Brasov.  The elderly gentleman in the photo is one of a group of three who made this sculpture.  It was made s part of a celebration of the overthrow of Ceaucescu.  The sculptors circled Romania's borders thrice with it before bringing it to its current resting place.  He also told us about some of the changes to Brasov over the years.  The Brasov sign on the mountain, for instance, said "Stalin" in the 1960's.  All of this was in Romanian and it was very interesting talking with him.

Nine Tenths

I am nine tenths of the way done with the border bars!  That means I am so much closer to being done.
