Volga and around

Thank you for bearing with late update about the trip I took to the historical town of Bolgar. It took me time to come back and give you update. 

Anyway, I stayed in the small town for 10 days and in these 10 days... I have totally been regenerated! The nature is amazing, soooo vast & beautiful. I have enjoyed watching the view of the Volga river at sunrise and sundown.

It's a pity that I don't have a panoramic shot of it but you can imagine how long it expands from the Valdei hills, northwest of Moscow to the southeast of the Caspian sea.

Volga

Steppes, small ravines, hills and low valleys, wide riverbanks and forest are all around. Though I didn't get too far around, I still got some of the best views I could.

Herd of cows, and flock of crows are often seen behind the fence of the Archaeological reserve. There were horses too, hawks and chicken at the barracks of the archaeologists where I stayed.

Next post, I'll show you the sunsets I've collected during my stay.

Jo's kittens

I'm  pretty busy lately so I'm quite behind from commenting & posting. I'll  try to cope up as soon as I get the chance.

Meanwhile, here are some adorable kittens to draw your smile today.

Josefin's 4 kittens.

Spending some time and watching them can be very entertaining and really therapeutic.

They seem to love each other and they also love wrestling.

The white one being the strongest is also the leader of the gang and the initiator  of everything.

The other visible one is his partner in crime.

While this one prefers to play with toys rather than with the wrestlers.

And the littlest of them preferred to keep off the chaos and decided to hide on the shelf.

And of course after the whole wrestling and playing, they too got hungry. Obviously, the most active one is also the hungriest.

My friend has names for them but I  honestly forgot who is who :)
