The Great Bosnian Outdoors, through Alida's Lens

Last week, I featured pictures snapped by my daughter Anne in Germany in 2005. This week, I am featuring some pictures taken in Bosnia by my older daughter Alida.

Alida has visited Bosnia five times since she was 17 -- four times to work with children at day camps, and once to visit a friend in Sarajevo. I hope you enjoy these pictures of a scarred and beautiful country.

In no particular order. . . pictures from Bosnia:







Alida and the group she worked with visited the famous monastery at Rama for
rest and renewal. I can't picture a better spot to do just that:





Sarajevo holds a special place in my daughter's heart;
she says every time she goes back, she sees more recovery from the scars of war:

I told you last week that my daughter Anne is camera shy. Alida is decidedly not!

Alida comes home tonight from California, for almost a month. She and Anne will be visiting London, a sisters' trip, and then Anne is off to Guam till the end of June. More pictures! If I keep this up, my next original Outdoor pictures might be autumn leaves! -- Cass
