Here are some of the photos of our trip- the big balls in the trees is mistletoe which being a parasite kills the trees. We saw miles of trees some live, some dead, but lots of trees are being affected by an invasion of mistletoe.
We saw lots of horses and wagons in western Ukraine. The wheat fields are getting ripe as you can see in the photo, the purple strip is wild flowers. Many fields closer to home have poppies growing on the edges as in the photo Garry took, or some fields with less weed spray have a lot of them. You can see the trusty Lada on the side of the road waiting for us to return to driving across Ukraine. The semi is one of many Garry passed.
