hawk!

Nice thing about no leaves yet is it is easy to see nests. I looked to the right and saw a huge nest, put the lens on it and thought I saw someone. This is a pretty edited picture. I erased a twig. I sharpened. I de-noised. 

We moved the pictures from one church to another church. 

We won't have room to display all of them so I've picked some. 

I spent the afternoon in horrible bureaucracy. 

After Russia's 2022 invasion US craft beer happily put blue and gold on their beers. They had Brew for Ukraine, Resist, and Putin Huylo. Huylo is a Russian insult that is worse than ... and means someone who can't be trusted but acts like they believe their own words. Some even made Ukrainian golden ale. Ukrainian golden ale didn't officially exist. A beer writer and beer sommelier, Lana Svitankova, has been working to gain world recognition for Ukrainian golden ale. 

Dmmytro Nekrasov was sent to Belgium in 2009 to learn to be more creative with beer and he created a hazy gold ale that was sweeter and he added coriander, a Ukrainian export. This made it lemony and spicy. When Russia invaded Crimea in 2014, Nekrasov and his boss had to leave, which helped spread the recipe and made it even more popular. 

Svitankova began researching it in 2021. She's going to Las Vegas this month to get samples into the hands of the Brewer's Association members, brewers, and judges.
