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.

Old Believer Russian Orthodox priest. (5.5.2012)
In 1666 there was a schism in the Russian Orthodox church. Small, somewhat isolated communities of Old Believers remain in Russia today, though many fled for the U.S. & Canada during Tsarist times with the help of Tolstoy. According to [old] Orthodox tradition it is a sin to cut one's beard.

But how come that it at this moment is #35. According to comments it should be a safe #3. It happened to me too yesterday. My cotton grass received 26 comments and was nowhere to be found this morning. The day before the Munch picture suffered a similar fate. I am so angry.
