Project RuSu 365
Not always so successful or interesting, & not always daily, though certainly a reflection of our daily lives - more like pick of the day. Our goal - to share our world and improve our skills. Thanks to all the members of the SmugMug Daily Community for your support and input. Feel free to leave feedback by clicking on 'Add Comment' below. We look forward to hearing your thoughts. The photo of the day will always be in first position. Thank you for looking. - Rustem Safronov & Susan Gilman a.k.a. RuSu. This gallery was started on October 26, 2010.

Ribbons of reverence. (7.13.2012)
Common throughout Siberia and much of the Mongol world is the tying of ribbons in the branches of trees. A shamanistic tradition associated with healing & luck, it's believed the spirits heed the wishes & intentions of those who've tied the ribbons.
I'm still a bit under the weather since our return & apologize if I've missed commenting on some of your shots.
Rustem will be off to another region of Siberia next week; thankfully, I'm staying put. Siberia is so vast that if were an independent country, territorially it would be the largest country in the world. Siberia spans 7 time zones.
