Summer Trip to the Don

Here are some pictures made during my trip to the Don (long-long river on the south of Russia, one of  many places of cossacks living). This trip was my father's intiative. I now can say that it exceeded all my expectations!!! We lived several happy days on the bank of the most beautiful rivers of my native country, went fishing deep in the night, swam in warm waters, enjoyed the most tasty watermelon which grew in the fields all around, floated in the boat (unfortunately its engine was broken on the first day and we had to use oars)...
Concerning my own impressions, I can say only one thing: russian part of me is proud that it is the most beautiful and picteresque place (or on of the most...) in this country, and my cossack part is proud that it is my small motherland and it is just what it is... With its endless and limitless prairies, hot Sun... Evevn the air is different there, people are different... It is felt differently there and it is impossible not to fall in love with that land... That is why now I very much  miss that plaсe...  I wish I wouls return there again and again...

Our little brothers

I've noticed this pretty cat sitting on the roof of somebody's car near the neighbour building. She was basking under the rays of the evening sun catching the warmth of last summer days. :) Of course I couldn't pass by her without making the photo.
