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.

Burning Mother Winter ~ the last day of Maslenitsa. (2.26.2012)
The past week has been Russian Maslenitsa a.k.a. Pancake Week. The week culminates in the burning of an effigy of winter & is the start of Lent. Funny, it always seems to snow on Maslenitsa & it's by no means the end of winter. The photos aren't new & aren't great as we're somewhat housebound, me post-surgery & Rustem with pneumonia, but thought I'd put this together. We did, however, eat quite a few pancakes :)
Enjoy your Sunday!
