One Russian Mother’s Photos Will Convince the Skeptic – Nature and Children Are Beautiful!

For many modern children, the country life seems unexciting – droll, endless expanse, no bright lights, no movie theaters. But perhaps they should look at the images of two children down on the farm. Elena Shumilova got her first camera two years ago, and has been photographing daily life on the family farm in the Russian countryside. Early morning fog, dazzling sun on the lake – her images capture an ethereal beauty and leave us with a sense of wonder not only for the farm life, but for her children and childhood itself.
