EnUa Hi friends! Over the weekend, as the whole world celebrated Easter — and this year, both Eastern and Western Christians marked it on the same day, which is quite rare — our family traveled to my wife’s

EnUa Hello, friends! Today I’d like to take a short step back in time — about a week or even ten days ago, when we were celebrating Easter. My family and I were in Yavoriv, the town where my wife is from.

EnUa Hi, friends! I used to love photographing old things, especially old metal — rusty or covered with cracked, peeling paint — as well as old wood marked with deep cracks. To be honest, I still love

EnUa Hello, friends! I just want to remind you that yesterday was a sunny and bright day, although still quite cold. I also forgot to mention that the night before, there had been heavy rain. Because of

EnUa Hello, friends! It might seem from these photos that today in Lviv was a sunny, bright, and warm day. But that's not quite true, because although the day was indeed sunny and bright, it was far from

EnUa Hello, friends! Every spring, when I prepare a post about Gyromitra esculenta, I remember how I used to call them morels, though their proper name in the literature is false morels. Each year, I reread

EnUa What a cynical and cruel world we live in. Ukraine is now under immense pressure to agree to a ceasefire with the aggressor state, Russia — all in the name of stopping a brutal war that has already

EnUa Hi, friends! On Friday, I needed to pick up a small package from the post office in our village — a mica sheet for the microwave. Our old one had gotten damaged (or maybe burned), and it had to be

EnUa Except for today — since it rained at night and now it’s grey and gloomy — the days leading up to Easter were warm and sunny. People started going out more often: some just for a walk, others to do

EnUa Today is Good Friday — a day when the world remembers and reflects on the tragic events of two thousand years ago, when Jesus Christ was crucified. Sadly, evil and injustice are still widespread today.

EnUa Hello, friends! Real heat has finally arrived—just a few days after the last snowfall. And there was a lot of snow! So much that I was actually thinking we could go sledding with the kids, but it

EnUa Hello, friends! I live not far from my parents — literally about 200 meters away. We’re separated by a garden and a long field where grass grows, which we mow in the summer for the cows. My parents

EnUa Hello, friends! One thing’s for sure — this spring in Lviv has been wet, damp, moist — call it what you like, but it all comes down to water. It rained often, and snowed even more. Yes, it actually
