Southern Ukraine had its first rain in more than a month today. It was a huge thunderstorm that came on fast and Dana, Christian and I had to scramble for shelter with many others. It was pouring when this woman literally came dancing right down the middle of the main street! She was smiling, holding her arms out, and relishing in the moment as we all stood and cheered her on. Somehow I think she helped everyone who saw her feel a little bit more alive. You never know what you might see when you are waiting, and Odessa in the summer is a great place to do it!

Lady in the Rain
Now we are in what is known as the "ten-day waiting period" which I just don't like the sound of. It's passive and is uninspiring after so much drama leading up to court. That is why I'm grateful for the woman in this shot.

Dear family,
It seems "the rain in Spain"
falls sometimes in Ukraine.
I think you got it! By George you got it!
Such marvelous photography. Such
touching ... sensitive remarks.
Goodjob Jim and Dana
What a picture! It reminds me to find the joy in all things. The fact that her enjoyment of the moment passed onto others. So too with us when we have a positive outlook, it can touch so many. Thank you. Tracey
