Polina Popova, The garden somewhere in western Russia (April Theme: Garden)

This is the garden where I've spent all my youth. The black current I used to gather and bake pies with, the grapes that I secretly ate unripened, the place where I took all my photos of sunsets and sunrises, even tried to look at the stars like Simba, the place where I had a small pool when I was three, and the place that listened to me during my teenage uncertainties and fears, the place I'm grateful for rearing me, for making me the person I'm now. Thank you, the gradern somewhere in western Russia.
