SQUID BOATS ARE A COMING THEY'RE COMING TONIGHT


Of course ,in the original song from my childhood it was "Shrimp Boats Are A Coming". This is one of my all time favorite pictures I have taken , it has not been enhanced in any way and the colors are just as you could see with your own eyes that night, It was taken at about 8'o clock in the evening on a beach in Prachuap Khiri Khan. There were squid boats all over , but this one caught my eye . Hope you enjoy seeing it as much as I enjoy looking at it in a 11x14 framed photo on the wall in our home. Malcolm

BUTTERFLY TREE


I finally figured out why they call this a Butterfly Tree, after a longer than normal cold season here in Whang Pho , a tree I planted last year is in full bloom ,and it does look like it's name sake . Hope all your flowers and trees are in full bloom at this time of the year.

OUR BACKYARD VISITORS

BACK YARD FRIENDS

I did a past post about vistors to our back yard , but had so many more pictures , have decided to feature them here on our photos page , hope you like them ,every day it seems like we get a new bird we have not seen before , lots of vistors come back every morning and afternoon and all I have to do is to turn on the water and start to fill their bird bath ,and they will come and sit in the near-by trees and wait for me to finish, they are a joy to watch , each different type of bird will come and take turns about ,drinking and taking a bath , with sometimes the bigger ones being bullies and not waiting their turn. We have a tree stump near the bath and we put fruit on it for them to eat, and in the evening the squirrels will come and chase the birds away so they can have their share , we don't mind , as it just adds to our backyard visitors, and a joy to watch ,while having our afternoon coffee.I have a couple of friends who have cats (which means no birds ) and they come over every once in a while just to sit , have coffee and enjoy the backyard visitors with us .Hope you have lots of visitors to your backyards too.
