A Week-End in the Cool Breezes of Khao Yai
Sunday, November 14, 2010 at 6:57PM 
How we spent Saturday morning: Offerings.
Old Monk.
We stayed with friends in their mountainside retreat.
Our architect friend's front door!
The interior of their mountain cabin was absolutely beautiful.
The cabin interior.
Pretty little touches everywhere.
The guest bedroom.
And a place to wash up before diner.
An amazing air fern garden!
A giant white orchid growing out doors.
Simple beauty around the cabin.

There were amazing flowers and plants in Khao Yai . . . and wonderful light in which to photo them:
Tree Lichen.
Miniature flowers.
Purple Stamen.
White Stamen.
Yellow Stamen . . . looks like a stamen series!
Iris seed pods.
A flowering tree flower.
Some tropical trees flower in the Fall, like these.
A giant white orchid growing on the side of a tree outside!
Yellow Iris.
A Walk In My Garden
Sunday, October 17, 2010 at 2:16PM I noticed a new flower in my garden this rainy Sunday morning: a yellow tropical Iris. It lasts only one day.
Very tiny flower that lasts only one day.
The "Damn Hot and Damn Wet" season has been damn wet this year. The banana trees are in full bloom. Like this one.
I do not seem to be able to walk by my Lotus jars without taking a photograph. They are still so very amazing to me. I have a million photos of the Lotus Blossom. Why not?
Singapore September Week-End
Monday, September 20, 2010 at 5:49PM I am just back from a three day week-end in Singapore, a city I lived in during 1988.
They have a knack for organizational ideas in Singapore . . . not all of them are winners across the genders.
I came for the food and photography. Here I am in front of the Hua Yu Wee seafood palace. It doesn't look like much . . . but . . . . . .
. . . the chili crab was from heaven. Devine!
It was also Moon Cake Festival time in Singapore.
Moon cake comes in all kinds of flavors, fillings, and types.
Part of the fascination with moon cakes are the boxes they come in . . . the boxes scream, "Special!"
The boxes are often very beautiful.
We brought along an extra suitcase along just so we could bring back the very best moon cake available in Singapore for family and friends back in Bangkok (where, my wife says, the moon cake is inferior).

Singapore is also known as the Garden City: every square foot of it is gardened, tended, trimmed, and mowed. The flowers are fantastic.
The ubiquitous tropical Bird of Paradise is to be seen everywhere.
Even the wilting and drying buds of the Bird of Paradise are beautiful.
Actual living grasshoppers are a testimony to "not too much" chemical insecticides.
A tiny orange world on a hedge row.
These flowers were so very tiny.
New Growth In The Garden
Sunday, September 12, 2010 at 11:11AM It is nearing the end of the Wet Season here in Bangkok, so the garden is alive with new growth!
Such shapes!
An unfurling of redgreen.
News From The Garden
Friday, July 30, 2010 at 1:41PM I saw a new flower in my garden today I had never seen before., so I went inside and got my camera (Canon 40D). The new flower is beautiful . . . . but wait, what is that bug on the Bird of Paradise . . . .
The new flower.
I was happy to have had my Sigma 70mm macro lens on at the time . . . . to be able to take HAND HELD photos like this!
Wondrous Nature!
