The Farmer's Daughter

Mrs R and the wee one tonight.... Rob is feeling a bit sad because the wee one goes back south tomorrow. It has been lovely having her here for the holidays.

Burmese tour guide, he was actually going to grab my camera to take a pic of me..... I won't be showing that!

.Wifes Friends, ready for Takeoff.

I attended a Burmese religious ceremony last night, on Samui, here are a few images!

There are "C" cups and "D" cups... but this is a dixie cup!

A bit too much noise in this, which I cannot seem to edit out ... but I like the look on the babies face...

^^^ SJ....just what type of Burmese religious ceremony was this?!

I've been to Burma many times & am off on the 12th for a 45 day

gig....and I have never seen anything like this in the past. It looks

rather interesting....where in Burma are these folks originally from?

Perhaps I'll persue it further there.....hmmmmm.

oh these guys from all over Burma, they have these gigs a couple of times a year.... usually the Head Burmese monk comes, but not this trip... when he's here, thousands attend... this was only 100's!

This was much less formal than when the "head Monk" comes

They are held on both Koh Phangan and Samui... next time I see them, I will ask more....

July 2012 when the head monk was here... much more formal...

All the bells and whistles and flags come out.... This is he... well spoken and traveled !

I do anything for a free dinner! Somewhere I have pics of picking him up on Koh Phangan.... too... I cannot find at the moment!

"...another farang pointing his camera at my face. I can point, too...with my hat!"

Morlam at the market in Chiang Khan, Loei:

She said as she went by, "No tourists" ..... at least she still has a smile ... I guess too she knew I was not a tourist!

Cat on a hot tin roof

Mrs Claus, in Black ? ... actually Burmese ....

Hmong lady selling strawberries at Doi ???, Mae Rim Valley, CM.

Three sisters

...whatever else you do, do not skip lunch for heaven's sake - the transformation is ...intense!

Took me a while to work out what this lady was up to wading through the harvested paddy waving a stick and yahooing.

Until I spotted the ducks in the stubble.

Herding ducks.

Nick whack paddy whack... is she going to give a dog a bone....? ^

The dogs ears are closed!

^^^ That's a nice shot Jimmy!

Thank you Sunshine!

maybe this should be in up the workers!

They say it does not hurt!

Blessing the start of the neighbour's new house...
