An evening in Shimoga on our way to Sera
Madame waits under the parasol as her knives are sharpened
mesmerized...
delighted
How to sneak around town
An elegant home in Shimoga
with its welcoming designs
the shopkeeper from Mundgod happy to say Tashi Delek as his assistant dusts the merchandise
Life
Monsieur wears his long dress to shop
And prayers on the way to Sera
Happy Thanksgiving
From Taiwan…
where I’ve been interviewed by the Taipei Times' Yuanting Yang and photographed by Chiaming Chang
before going to Hemei
where trees need trimming
and friends make momos
Then to Chiayi to visit Doctor Li and check on knee
And on to Kaohsiung to teach and be merry
before some golf with pro
and host, Wei Kai
in who’s home we had a feast!
some things less recognizable than others
But much enjoyed
by all
Now in the mountains
where the spiders roam
birds fly
ducks quack
and nature does its string thing
Wishing you all a happy Thanksgiving
With so munch thanks to all for all your giving!!

Mandalay
Following recent pix of recent friends…
a journey to laid back Mandalay
City of Buddhas
standing
seated
where couples visit temples
to show respect to men of the cloth
Abbots and their retinue
and younger ones devoted to their calling
I attended an International literary festival
Authors
and readers
many wearing war paint
some modestly
others with abandon
And fellow photographers
as well as little Buddhas
