Made it to the market and back today without falling on my keester. I feel like I’m in a new place entirely–a bit out of my element, to be sure. BUT … it’s wonderful – exhilerating – a true adventure. I’ve arrived to witness a rare event here in Samara – the frost clinging to the birch tree limbs. So in honor of the occasion – here are a few shots of what I saw today, just outside the building where I’m staying. Hope you enjoy!
