Day 54, March 30, Opening a season


Day 54, Opening a season, originally uploaded by Andrey Dorokhov.

Opening a season for roller-blading. Anastasia fist time this season tried that in a yard near our apartment. Was not really stable on the wheels but half an hour later managed to do better.

Сегодня Настя открыла сезон катания на роликовых коньках. Проба пошла во дворе нашего дома. Первые попытки были очень неуверенные но спустя пол часа она уже почувствовала себя более уверенно.

Day 52, March 28, Family oak tree


Day 52, family oak tree, originally uploaded by Andrey Dorokhov.

We see how it grows on our land near our country house for 10 years now and the tree is still quite young. It will be much bigger. Lovely tree and looks beautiful during all seasons.

Мы наблюдаем как наш дуб на даче растет уже 10 лет. Дуб еще молодой, будет намного больше. Очень красивое дерево и он прекрасен в любое время года!

Day 51, March 27, Menu for today


Day 51, menu for today, originally uploaded by Andrey Dorokhov.

Sea bass and pork shashlik made on grill was a good fun to do on fresh air far from Moscow.

Это было удовольствие, готовить на углях свиной шашлык и рыбу сибас на даче, на свежем воздухе, вдали от большого города. Да и еще светило солнце и слепило отражаясь от снега.

Old staff I found on fireplace in our country house - very old Samovar and not so old picture of our older daughter when she was 3 years old (now she is 10)

Кое что из вещей, стоящих на камина на нашей даче - старый самовар, и не такая уж старая фотография нашей старшей дочери, когда ей было три года (ей сейчас 10)

Cookies were gone in 5 minutes as soon as my younger daughter discovered that I put them on a table for shooting. Useful stuff, she names numbers and eats them :-)

Day 47, originally uploaded by Andrey Dorokhov.

Girls having fun in a sport club. I do not know the name of the girl on the right. She was pushing gently Ksenia with her finger offering to share a cookie with her. Ksenia accepted and did not forget to say: "thank you!" :-)

Девчонки развлекаются в детской комнате спортивного клуба. Девочка справа, осторожно тыкает Ксюшу в спину, предлагая ей печенье. Ксюша предложению была рада, и сказала: "Спасибо!" :-)

Day 44, March 20, Waiting for the rest of a family


Day 44, originally uploaded by Andrey Dorokhov.

Schultz waiting for the family to arrive to our country house. When I got with him there the day before he was so happy about the snow. The weather now much warmer so it's his last chance to play with it.

Шульц в ожидании семьи, моей жены и дочерей, который должны вот вот приехать. Вчера, когда я его привез на дачу, он было безумно рад снегу. Это один из последних шансов для него поиграть в снегу, погода наконец меняется и через неделю может быть от него ничего не останется

Day 43, originally uploaded by Andrey Dorokhov.

Day 38, March 14, Cold reflection


Day 38, Cold reflection, originally uploaded by Andrey Dorokhov.

Middle of the March, but still cold. Probably we start feeling that spring is coming only in April. I had a walk in the park with my kids and found that place in a pond, where people catching fish. Very small fish, I have seen it.

Середина марта, а все еще холодно. Наверное почувствуем приход весны только в апреле. Гулял с детьми в Тимирязевском парке, там в большой прорубе народ ловит рыбу, рыбой это трудно назвать, наверное скорее рыбку, очень маленькую рыбку :-)

Day 37, March 13, After the concert with a grandma


After the concert with a grandma, she is a soloist in the orchestra and her granddaughter was happy to have a photograph with her on a scene.

Внучка была счастлива попасть на сцену, после концерта, и сфотографироваться с бабушкой - солисткой оркестра.

Day 31, March 7, Hollywood smile


Day 31, Hollywood smile, originally uploaded by Andrey Dorokhov.

Was walking around our apartment with a camera and younger daughter saw it and asked: "What are you doing? Make a picture of me!". That reminded me that I always have a model near me which is always ready to pose :-)

Воскресным утром бродил по квартире с камерой в руке, в поисках вдохновения :-). Младшая дочь увидела это и сказала: "папа, что ты фотографируешь? Сфотографируй меня!". Да, надо помнить, что у меня всегда есть модель под боком, которая всегда готова позировать. И ничего искать не надо - вдохновение вот оно - рядом! :-)

Day 30, March 6, Reading list


Day 30, Reading list, originally uploaded by Andrey Dorokhov.

Passing by, put my attention on a book shelf in our apartment. Strange collection I should say. All of them been red (partially or completely) and now these books staying here and looks that they do not fit each other. Some authors are: Pelevin, Pushkin, Gogol, Chekhov, Misima, Nabokov, Zvetaeva, Tatiana Tolstaia, Lonely Planet Guide to Vietnam, Robert McNamara memoirs about Vietnam war, Gray's Anatomy, Gabriel García Márquez, etc. ... (pictures processed with Dfx v2)

Проходя в очередной раз мимо книжной полки у нас в квартире, обратил внимание что книжки стоящие там, как то не очень сочетаются друг с другом. Они почти все прочитаны полностью, и теперь стоят на этой полке в довольно странной комбинации. Некоторые авторы: Анатомия Gray's, Татьяна Толстая, Пушкин, Гоголь, Чехов, Мисима, Маркес, Гид по Вьетнаму, мемуары министра обороны США МакНамары о войне во Вьетнаме, Пелевин, Набоков, Цветаева ... .

Day 29, March 5, Spring?


Day 29, Spring?, originally uploaded by Andrey Dorokhov.

Fifth day of spring. Do not feel like spring, having snow falling from above and makes me think that we here in Russia have very long winters, too long! Especially you fill that after a recent vacation on South-Chine Sea.

Пятый день весны - что то это не чувствуется. Идет снег. У меня ощущение, что у нас тут слишком длинные зимы и оно еще сильнее усиливается после недавнего отпуска проведенного на Южно-Китайском море.

Day 28, March 4, Playing Bach


Day 28, Playing Bach, originally uploaded by Andrey Dorokhov.

Anastasia playing that piece again and again, whats to sound good tomorrow, on a school concert dedicated to International Women Day. (That shot actually supposed to be trashed. External flash was not working properly. But later I decided that that was the best from all 20 I did)

Завтра в школе у Насти концер, посвященный дню 8 марта, она хочет там сыграть Баха, которого она разучивала в музыкальной школе. Сегодня вечером она его репетировала, опять и снова :-) (снимок был кандидатом на удаление - вспышка не сработала, но в последний момент он показался мне лучшим из 20 отснятых с "правильной" вспышкой)

В день нашего прилета из Вьетнама, 1 марта, старшая дочь получила подарки, но на следующий день, мы наконец почувствовали в себе силы собраться всей семьей за круглым столом и отпраздновать это событие - старшей дочери исполнилось 10 лет!

Манго, долька Памелы, Лонган, Рамбутан, Бананы, и местное яблоко, название которого я не помню.

Day 19, Glamour girls, originally uploaded by Andrey Dorokhov.

This a very trendy in Vietnam for a young women to have a pale-white skin. So they protecting themselves. Face masks and often special long gloves.

Во Вьетнаме молодым девушкам очень мнодно иметь бледную кожу. Чем белее, тем лучше. Поэтому они носят маски на лице и часто длинные перчатки, выше локтя.

Completely different view from the window, just after we finished our long trip to Vietnam paradise. A sharp change from that the day before: http://andreydorokhov365project.blogspot.com/2010/02/day-10-february-14-empty-playground.html
Совершенно другой вид из окна. Снимок сделан сразу после того, как мы наконец достигли точки назначения во Вьетнаме, из окна номера гостиницы в которой мы остановились.
Вчера, вид из окна был совсем другим: http://andreydorokhov365project.blogspot.com/2010/02/day-10-february-14-empty-playground.html
