I was working on this for Smile on Saturday's theme "flag unflagged" but thought it might be a bit too processed for that group. Also, I really liked the red, white, and blue shot I did post to the group. And I thought it was especially suited for the theme - kind of echoing the US flag's stripes and the flares mimicking stars. I do like this image too, though, and it will be fine for Sliders Sunday. Slava Ukraini!
This started as a close-up shot of a large group of orange, white, and black balloons attached to a screen to serve as a background for people's selfies at a graduation party.

I captured this image of a soybean field last fall in Knox County. I used the Skylum Luminar Neo software program to edit and filter the golden brown soybeans to yellow and deepen the blue of the sky. The Skylum company and team is based in Kyiv, Ukraine. Many on their team have remained in Ukraine and are working and sheltering. We have chosen to support Ukraine through Save the Children.

The war continues. Ukrainians bravely continue to defend their sovereign country.
The colours belie the current atrocities Ukraine is facing, but their courage and brilliance in fighting their tormenting aggressors is remarkable.
Let's hope and pray they can remain an independent, self-determining nation--and support them in every way we can.

Here’s roughly what the process of collecting salt from a dried-up lake looks like: a man in rubber boots walks onto the site (because beneath the layer of salt there’s usually a layer of stinky muck that you can sink into), then he uses a special rake to gather the salt into small piles. After that, he collects it into a sack.
This tiny little Blue Tit matching the flag of Ukraine.. he has something that our World "leaders" don't have... a spine.
Never give in to crooks and bullies.

We ate brunch in Chicago's Ukraine Village where many crowded the shops preparing for Easter and praying for a peace that protects their relatives from violence and invasion.
Manchester’s Ukrainian Community joins forces with other Nationalities in singing the Ukrainian National Anthem; and to say prayers for their families and friends back home. Let’s hope this horrible situation ends soon….
I saw a feature this morning showing that sunflowers are grown aplenty in Ukraine. Remembering this photo from the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, I offer it with my thoughts and best wishes for the brave souls in Ukraine.

The Parliaments of Canada, Latvia and Estonia now formally recognise the atrocities committed by Russia in Ukraine as a genocide.
Please contact your members of parliament to do the same, and in one go ask them to impose an immediate ban on Russian fossil fuels.
It is the human thing the do.
It is the morally right thing to do.
And it even is the economically sound thing to do. Price hikes are caused by uncertainty on the markets. The longer the uncertainty lasts, the more price hikes there will be.
When we decide to stop importing Russian fuels, the uncertainty disappears, the prices will remain high for a while and then they will begin to decrease.
And it will remove Putin's power to hold countries hostage with his fossil fuels. Plus it cuts off a major source of income for Russia making it harder for him to continue to finance his war.
