Sweet Hua Hin:

The ubiquity of it all!

The sea (The Gulf of Siam/Thailand) changes all the time. From misty . . . 

 . . . to picture postcard  . . . . .

 . . . to clear and azure . . . . .

. . . . and then stormy . . . .

. . . to the drama of an approaching storm . . . .

. . . to serene evening moods with cool breezes . . .

. . . followed by next morning's sun rise.

 . . . .  to memories of past storms.  Here we have the impermanence of wealth.

The mornings are my favorite times . . . . when the fishermen are out . . . .

 . . . and the boats head back in after a night's squidding . . . .

 

 . . . and when the tide is out, it is a nice time for a walk down the beach.

It is a good time of the year (The Damn Hot and Damn Wet Season) to photograph flowers. These are frangipani.

Yes, it is true even in nature: play with your stamen and you can twist it.

Incredible lotus flowers, a symbol of Buddhism, and my favorite flower.

Perfectly amazing color.

A tiny, complex world of colorful beauty.

Colorful. Purposeful. Beauty.

 Propagatory. The Lotus' universe.

Rust and vines.
