Then, I thought, no, they remind me of something in Russia.

It was lovely catching up on your posts, Australia and your time before coming home.<br /><br />I liked your photographs of the people, the characters old and young, and your boat lady in her blue patterned rain poncho. You have such a good eye for a picture.<br />Very chilly here. Your walk last week looked like a beautiful spring like day.
