The sun says it's time to go home.

Thank you, Shaggy. I am really enjoying this.

Short arms and long pockets DAL , certainly not a lot of sustenance in those glasses

"DINGHYS and DENGUE"

A Fish-farmers' life .

This brought a smile to my face.

ah! just ran out of likes again

What brought the smile Shaggy? The pump girl or what ever that is hanging on the back?

Cows seeing their first Farang... down Songkhla way where farangs don't go... except me!

Definitely the dainty little thing balancing on the front wheel whilst tanking the tractor.

I did wonder what they were going to be using the old tree roots for though.Have seen

some very nice furniture made from them before.

^^ Great cattle scene btw

Imagine working like this, living like this and then not getting paid the meagre sum you're owed . . .

Yes all of us are updated and fully aware of the on going situation in regards to the rice pledging scheme, I like the photo...but do keep that comment away from here please, i mean this farm photo topic...I think that comment will be more suited at the Thailand News, General Topic sub forum or other similar topic in farming forum...

It's kind of ruining the mood while appreciating the photo...

No.

I imagine the people in your beautiful photo think about their salary and the heat. When the job is finished they will be with their families after a hard days of work.

The guy in front needs to join his fellow workers but nevertheless he grants you this moment, to take a photo.

Thank you MJP, it's a very enjoyable scene.

Oh well..

^ This Is Thailand

Buffalo shelter ... Thali Noi area, Songkhla

Buffaloes without shelter ... and a flock of birds! Same area.

I imagine the sad farmer in your beautiful photo saying "Hey you ! When are you going to pay the ฿600 you still owe me for the 3 pictures you taken the last time !"

Imagine~ Only imagine...

Samuijimmy, I applause you for this great shot ! Very nice~ Good timing for the egret with its wings spreaded on the right.

Thanks RBH... ^ I did not think they were any thing special! .... I can't imagine any farmer asking for 600 baht for a pic!

Egrets waiting for buffalo to show up!

Thanks for the kind comments guy's,it is really appreciated.

The little one was sleeping so me and my good lady went for a stroll around the farm.

A lovely way to end a long day....sitting on a paddy dyke next to my beautiful wife,

a cup of 3in1 and a ciggy watching the sun go down.....sometimes the simple things are the best.

A new season starts...

Junior's effort is not bad either....

Regards.

A couple of days ago out on the farm a snake got under the hood. It kept sticking it's head out.

2 days later my wife went back out to the farm and pulled under a tree with low hanging branches and he left.

Now that's a super great image! well done Shaggy!

I envy you ! My wife won't stay for 5 minutes and just find an excuse to scoot off... I totally understand, afterall she grow up in the stick. The only times she would stay for days during harvest is because i provide booze for the wholesalers and she would keep on asking me what is the harvest yield...because i would gift her 1 Baht gold for every harvest if i achieve my target tonnage .

Read again Jimmy, it's 3 pics for ฿600.

Last year there was a tour van with 10 european tourist and the tour guide offered ฿200/photo to let them do the rice transplanting along side the locals... 4 locals shared ฿1'800 ! I invited them to my farm 300m away hoping i could earn some tourist money. But the moment i spoke in English, they just..... zoom off~

Between, i also like the sharpness and colour contrast.
