A Ukrainian Easter Egg

 
 

Did you know that the Ukrainians are known for their intricate decorating of Easter eggs, which are better known as Pysanka's?

Tim and I passed this huge depiction of a Ukrainian egg in the small Alberta town of Vegreville.

So since I can't be home to show you any lovely Easter displays, ladies, this will be my contribution this year.

 
Do you have your reading glasses on, because you may need them to actually see what it is that I'm trying to show you here!
 
Can you guess what it is?
 
 
In this photo I feel certain that you can see them better....
Yes, it is Sea Gulls all flying South passing through Alberta.
There were so many that I could not possibly get them in my camera scope!
If I had not been in shock at seeing the masses I might have had the presence of mind to try the panorama setting on my camera.
 
 
I discovered that it's not only Geese that form v's when they fly.
 
So neat!

Today we have at least a ten hour drive.
We are driving Fort St. John BC  to Watson Lake Yukon.
 
This is where the mountain driving begins.
The weather forecast looks good.
Who knows, I may have a chance to get some animal photos to share with you tomorrow!
I hope you're having a great day-Kimberly
