One of my Russian friends

Tanya has studied English for 4 years, and she always comes to me speaking some English. She and her father Alexei (the pastor in Ekaterinburg) went with me on the train to Perm. This picture is taken on the river at Perm 

Bluebirds

The mother has a mouth full of mealworms. The father is feeding the birds inside the nest box. There were five of them.

Ingrid cleaned out the nest when the babies flew. The birds seem to have started building another nest, so we might have some more.
