My dogs Jem the Collie and Bedlington Terrier Dolly..our teasing cat Kizzy outside that did this all the time at both back and front doors.Taken using a Pentax ME Super ( as near as you can get to auto these days, using Kodak film asa 200. Scanned in on my HP scanjet using the negative strip. I usually just scan in photos of my children but this was such a regular sight and bought back some happy memories. Dolly lived 18 years only dying in 2013 one year after my late husband...All my pets have left a lasting legacy of love.....

I am in that phase of my life where I like everything more in black and white; monochrome or with many shades of gray; even butterflies.
Estou nesa fase da miña vida onde gosto todo máis en branco e negro; monocromo ou con moitos tons de gris; incluso as bolboretas.
An emotional connection with the mother is very important in the first days of a child’s life, when they begin to see the world around them. This photo shows me and my mom.
Today, I would also like to talk about an important issue — namely, birth rates and demographics.
In Soviet Ukraine, the population continuously grew after the end of World War II, and by 1991, about 52 million people lived here. Such growth occurred because, in those distant times, it was considered normal to have many children. A hundred years ago, in rural areas, families with 10 or even 17 children were not unusual.
According to official statistics, by 1970 the birth rate in Ukraine had dropped to 2.1 children per family, and by 1980 the rate was already 1.95. This was linked both to the rise in the general level of education, urbanization and to the beginning of the stagnation of the Soviet economy.
In 1986, the Chernobyl disaster occurred, which sharply reduced birth rates in the following years (young women were simply afraid to give birth). By the late 1980s, economic stagnation had turned into an advancing economic crisis (sugar, butter, toilet paper, school notebooks, and many other essential goods began to disappear from store shelves one by one).
In 1991, the USSR collapsed, and Ukraine declared independence. Since the economies of the Soviet republics were economically interdependent (a system was deliberately designed by the Communist Party leadership), the economy began to collapse.
People experienced delays of several months in wage payments, money rapidly lost its value due to galloping inflation, and unemployment began to rise fast (as factories and enterprises went bankrupt en masse), daily rolling blackouts were taking place in populated areas etc.
Accordingly, by 1995, the birth rate had dropped to 1.4 children per family, and the number of divorces was also rapidly rising (which, in previos Soviet times, was considered socially unacceptable).
At the same time, the socio-political and ideological landscape changed dramatically. Ukraine opened up to the Western world. A flood of Western goods, culture, and values poured into the country. During the Soviet era, everyone was expected to study, work, start a family, give birth and raise children, collectively 'build a bright communist future under the wise leadership of the Communist Party.' But in the early 1990s, people switched to survival mode — they lost confidence in the future.
There was no longer a state ideology, no one believed in anything anymore. Everyone was left on their own. Making money at any cost became the top priority. Television was filled with commercial advertising that encouraged people to 'take everything from life and demand even more,' while Western movies and TV shows portrayed a glamorous lifestyle. Ukrainians became focused on earning money and building careers, and childbirth was postponed 'until later.'
By the year 2000, the birth rate had fallen to 1.15 children per family. At the same time, millions of working-age Ukrainians were forced to leave the country in search of seasonal jobs (often illegally) abroad — some went to EU countries, others to Russia — leaving small children behind with grandparents. Many left Ukraine for good, emigrating to the USA, Canada, Germany, and other countries.
In the early 2000s, the economic situation in Ukraine began to improve. In 2005, the government even started to give payments for the birth of children — and this had a small positive effect. By 2010, the birth rate had reached 1.44 children per family. But then, it began to decline again.
Since 2014, Crimea was annexed, the war in Donbas began, and the Ukrainian currency sharply devalued (by more than half). In 2019, the pandemic (i call it "the COVID scam") began, and by 2020 the birth rate had fallen to 1.2 children per family.
With the start of the full-scale invasion in 2022, millions of Ukrainians fled the country, escaping the horrors of war in search of refuge. No one can name the exact number of refugees now — estimates go as high as 12 million people. These are primarily women and children, since men are not allowed to leave Ukraine.
Over the course of three years, Ukrainian children abroad have already adapted to life in their new countries, and most of them will likely never return to Ukraine. This is a devastating blow to the future of Ukrainian nation.
How many of us are left in Ukraine now — no one can say for certain. According to the most optimistic estimates (which I personally do not believe), it's 30 million people, of whom 14 million are of retirement age.
As of today, Ukraine's demographics have become the worst in the world. And that is deeply saddening. We will no longer be able to recover, as we did in the past after severe demographic shocks in our history.
Young women and men today no longer want to have children. At best, they might consider having a child closer to the age of 30. The "childfree" ideology has become very popular.
Twenty-five percent of children are born to single mothers (I personally know several such women who consciously chose not to have a father for their child).
My nation is, in effect, dying now before the eyes of the world...
“Friendship is a strange animal. It only thrives in voluntary enjoyment of each other's company, in the pleasure of non-obligatory connection.”― Kate Christensen, ‘The Astral’.
Friendship is a very simple word, very commonly used. Yet, the depth and meaning of friendship, certainly, go beyond the simple and the common…
Strange, how strange best friends can be!

This photograph shows my mother at the moment she is receiving a valuable gift from the teaching staff of the school she graduated from with a ‘gold medal’ (this medal was awarded to students who had the highest grades on their report cards and passed their final exams with distinction.
Of course, it was only called gold — in reality it was made of some inexpensive metal). The gift was a book, namely ‘The Small Geographical Atlas of the World’, with an appropriate dedication inscription. This book and the medal are still kept in our family to this day.
In the USSR, there was an 8-year or 10-year school system. After the 8th grade, a student could already enter a vocational school or a technical college. If they completed 10 grades, they could apply to an institute or a university.
Children in USSR started first grade at the age of 7. In independent Ukraine, children began going to school at the age of 6, and the length of schooling was extended to 11 years. Currently, there is a transition to a 12-year system, which, in my opinion, is absurd.
I was also intrigued by the stern-looking woman in the background. She didn’t seem particularly happy about my mother receiving the award. Perhaps her son or daughter was not as successful and did not receive a gift. Overall, her face and style of clothing contrast strongly with my mother’s image. This is a kind of symbolic contrast between the harsh, totalitarian past of the Stalinist era — times of fear, war and famine — and the period in which my parents’ generation was already growing up.
The boy—a drummer wearing a Pioneer cap—seems to have wanted a book like that as well. Good, high-quality books were in short supply in the USSR, and you couldn’t simply buy them in a bookstore.
At the moment, Kyiv is experiencing partial blackouts. We are given electricity for 3.5–4 hours, followed by 6–7 hours without power. Sometimes I only have electricity for 3 hours during the day, and the rest comes late at night. Outside my window now there is complete darkness; the streetlights are not working. There is strong wind, almost storm-like.
In 45 minutes the power will be cut off, likely until morning. But I decided to dedicate this window of time specifically to restoring this photograph. I managed to do it and am sharing the result with you. When possible, I will try to respond to your comments and return the stars. I wish all good people kindness and peace.

I accidentally set my manual light-meter to ISO 100 and overcompensated for the yellow filter so everything got overexposed ... one of the drawbacks of analog photography - it ain't foolproof ...

Fruit stand, Kabul, fall of 1974. When I travelled to Afghanistan I had in my mind a photo I had seen in the National Geographic magazine with a shop just like this one. I took "my" photo of "THE NatGeo shop" to find out later that the one depicted in the magazine was across the street.

My mom has called me twice this Mother's Day. Naturally, I called first but the other two times have been to remind me about something or other. Now that she's retired she calls when the spirit moves her and I answer if I can on the off chance that it's something bad.
This week I found out that someone close had a less than idyllic experience because of substance abuse. She's a little scarred, a little wary. Those things should never happen to a little girl or anyone, really. Luckily, I have been more than fortunate with my choice of parents and nothing on that scale has happened aside from when my kid brother got sick and we were in and out of hospitals for six or seven years before we finally lost him.
So I consider myself more than a little lucky and undeserving; more the latter, of course. And I hope mom excuses me if I take a deep breath before answering and the first thing I ask is if everything is OK.

Ever since I can remember I have been fascinated by trains and dreamt of riding the rails. My father took this photo of me shortly before boarding the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railway on a day excursion into the beautiful San Juan Mountains of southwestern Colorado long, long ago.
