At the Atlanta Botanical Garden, which has the absolute coolest conservatory.

Here's Oksana!

Oak galls on Sand Mountain.

Early spring greenbrier on the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Here is a little Kentucky/Thailand combination.

Here are some more photos of the controlled burn from last year, because of Rinko Kawauchi's fires.

Oksana's family album with the headless knight on the cover, containing photos from before the October Revolution. Her grandpa told us stories of the people in the photos, Ukranian Jews living in the Soviet Union. I felt so privileged to listen. I urged him to write the stories down one day, but he said he wouldn't. I think he felt that no one would understand.

Another one of that tourist cave in Thailand.

Pussywillow branches for sale before Palm Sunday.

At Whitetop.

Some hemlocks.

Whitetop Mountain.

Ancient art in the Republic of Khakassia, on a visit to my friend.

Overlook onto the River Inya.

Oksana holding an apple tree that grew on my windowsill for two years. We planted it at her family's dacha.
