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.

  • Out very early again this morning to see yet another specialist, so in honor of what would have been my grandparents 90th anniversary (they were married 62 years before my grandmother died), here's a photo of them I love. No idea when or why it was taken, but I love how my grandfather's so relaxed lounging in his smoking jacket, while my Nanna sits so prim & proper beside him. Only the little bandage on her knee mars her perfection. (Not retouched or restored) (6.16.2011)
  • Old Russian architecture seen through the trees in Vladikavkaz. (6.15.2011)

    It's beautiful. Glad you are having good weather. We are like Linda. High 90's here in South Carolina, although we just had a thunderstorm come through that has cooled things down temporarily.
