| The little 'cutie pies' again. Notice how warmly they dress when it's 28C!!! |
What are the cutie pies sitting on? Were they raking up grass?
ReplyDeleteThe drooping white flowers look like datura, or angel trumpet but I could be mistaken. Please take more pictures, maybe I could paint some.
What does the tea picker need to protect his legs from?
Please tell me that you have tried this tea and how do you prepare it?
I'm relieved to see that Rita doesn't have a beard like you guys. ;)
Why are the girl's heads shaven? Is it cultural or practical?
OK, enough questions. God bless and give hugs for me to all. Jocelyn
Hi David. Don't know if my Thankyou made it to you for the flower power pics and birthday wishes. Thanks again! Phenominal photography. I was at Costco getting some pictures developed and a worker asked me if I was the photographer. I said yes and he complimented me on the photos. When I took them home and opened them I realized that it was your flower pictures he was admiring. I had most of them blown up to 8 x 10's and intend to paint pictures from them.
