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





 

Changes….

CHANGES...... 

It is late, no it’s actually early in the wee hours of the morning. But I wanted to share with you some changes that are coming my way soon.

 

I wanted to share with you that Tim and I were going to be heading to the Yukon once again. I didn’t mention it until now because I wasn’t sure of the time frame of our leaving nor the location where we were going to be living this trip out.

 

We have decided this time we will venture as far West as we can in the Yukon, right along the Alaskan border.

We have visited this area before, so it’s not unfamiliar to us. But now we will really be able to investigate it well!

 

It was on one of our trips to the Alaskan border that I was able to capture this photo of what I call the dancing bear.

 

And no, this was not the bear that was on his way to eat my hubby!

Do you remember how I scared him with the car horn?
 

That summer was a wonderful one for wildlife siting.
 

I hope this one will be too!
 

I’ll be back soon with more details. We still have a few weeks before we leave…..

Hope you have a great Monday!

Righteousness Is Like the Mountains

 

 

 

 

"Your righteousness is like the mountains of God;

Your judgements are like a great deep.

O Lord, You preserve man and beast"

Psalms 36:6

November-December 2012



I did a little re-decorating in November.

The only Christmas decorating that was done at my house this year! This is the honest truth.





*********************************************************

Over all 2012 was a good year. Like most years it has had it ups and downs. Losing Dad recently certainly ended the year on a sad note. I already know that 2013 will be bringing more sorrow with my Mom joining Dad. Don't get me wrong, I'm so blessed to know they will be together in heaven, but

I can't imagine life without picking up the phone and hearing their voices at the other end.

 

I pray that 2013 will be a blessed one for you. One with health, faith, and provision. I know as long as we're walking hand in hand with the Saviour, he will guide us all through whatever challenges await us.

Me and Josephine

Me and Josephine sunning ourselves along the shore of Lake Kluane yesterday. My hubby decided

I should be the one in front of the camera instead of behind it for once.

Josephine was built long before colored photos were available so I thought the black and white was more fitting.

Have a great weekend!
