Spring and Easter 2013 in Kyiv, Ukraine


We loved going to the Kyiv Park during the Spring.



The Motherland Statue in Kyiv.  Similar to our Statue of Liberty.
At Easter there were many exhibits of decorative eggs.

Large eggs as this were always on display.

Jay in front of another egg at the Kyiv outdoor museum.
