Did you know that the Ukrainians are known for their intricate decorating of Easter eggs, which are better known as Pysanka’s?
Tim and I passed this huge depiction of a Ukrainian egg in the small Alberta town of Vegreville.
So since I can’t be home to show you any lovely Easter displays, ladies, this will be my contribution this year.

Do you have your reading glasses on, because you may need them to actually see what it is that I’m trying to show you here!
Can you guess what it is?
In this photo I feel certain that you can see them better….
Yes, it is Sea Gulls all flying South passing through Alberta.
There were so many that I could not possibly get them in my camera scope!
If I had not been in shock at seeing the masses I might have had the presence of mind to try the panorama setting on my camera.
I discovered that it’s not only Geese that form v’s when they fly.
So neat!

Today we have at least a ten hour drive.
We are driving Fort St. John BC to Watson Lake Yukon.
This is where the mountain driving begins.
The weather forecast looks good.
Who knows, I may have a chance to get some animal photos to share with you tomorrow!
I hope you’re having a great day-Kimberly

Hi Kimberly,It was great to see that giant Ukrainian Easter egg, floating in the sky, as it reminded me of the one time, long ago, I had the pleasure of painting eggs during Holy Week, skillfully instructed by my sister's godmother's daughter, who is Ukrainian. Thanks for sharing!Happy Easter!Poppy

I got a picture of that egg a few years ago. It was pouring rain so I stayed in the car. There is a beautiful living history museum of Canadian Ukranian life at Vegreville too. We spent a couple of hours there after the rain had let up. Most fascinating. You are making tracks to the Yukon pretty fast. May you have continued journey mercies.

My sis and nephews live in FSJ, sounds like you are enjoying your trip. I did not know that Seagulls flew in a V and I have never seen that many at one time. Interesting that they were all flying south.
