My Friends,

 

Before coming to Thailand, I had never seen a DELOINX.

 

At first, I thought them ugly.

 

After many years, I now find them beautiful.

 

Maybe just like your wife, for example.

 

 

Anyway, what is your favorite tree in Thailand?

 

So many trees to choose from, just like everything else in Thailand.

 

You are lucky to be here, for so many reasons.

 

And, what you might not have appreciated when you first arrived, here in Thailand, does grow on you.

 

Or, if it does not grow on you, then it might grate on you.

When and if this happens, then you must leave.

 

Regards,

Glob.

You see.

 

When I first came to Thailand, I thought this tree to be hideous in its orange color.

 

I did not understand this tree.

 

Same as when I first viewed this painting...

 

 

Now, I love this tree.

 

Now, this tree is the most beautiful tree, for me.

 

Living in Thailand has the effect of changing one's perspective.

 

Seen from the perspective of Picasso, I wonder how this orange DELOINX tree, if that is the species it is, might have been painted.

 

Even Picasso could not have improved on the beauty of this tree.
