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.

I suppose the holiday cards have started streaming in to many of you, so thought we'd send one of our own - certainly more reliable than the Russian post. I was checking our card supply and came across this old envelope, which I decided to photograph. The cancelled stamp & tree are embellishments. The Santa-type figure is known as Grandfather Frost here and he brings presents on New Year's Eve which is when the holidays begin. They then last for 10 days during which the whole country basically shuts down. Hope yours are happy. (12.7.2011)

Thanks for all your comments on my turkey/Thanksgiving Day shot. It was nice to see at the end of a horrific day during which my pocketbook with all my documents [everything imaginable] was stolen. Spent hours at the police station where the police convinced me to report it as lost rather than stolen - long story. <br />
<br />
The good news is that I received a call that someone found my bag & although the money & some other things were gone, thankfully, my passport & other important documents have been returned.<br />
<br />
Hope those who celebrated had a wonderful holiday & are enjoying the weekend. (11.26.2011)](https://photos.smugmug.com/Photography/Project-RuSu-365/i-MwLQbR4/0/ea82df94/Ti/A_edited-3-Ti.jpg)
