I want to thank every one that has visited my blog, you have left such wonderful comments about my work and my blog!! Thank you Thank you Thank you!

I will be going to Bhutan next week for about one month so I wont be posting anything for a while. I did want to give you some new things to look at so here are a few of my favorite photos. The top one is here in Hoi An at one of the temples, I just got lucky to catch a cat napping!

The second one is about 2 hours outside of Hanoi in a small village. After the rice is harvested and thrashed the stalks are left to dry all over the place, it will be used for building mud houses and fuel for cooking.

The third photo was taken in a Hmong village in the north of Vietnam, I just love this woman.

The last one was taken in Dong Van near the Chinese boarder, this woman was at the market selling her vegies.While she was waiting she was wraping twine that will later be woven and dyed indigo for her native costume.

I will be back!!!!!!

The market is all a buzz, its almost Tet and everyone is fixing up thier homes and buying food and candy for the week long celebration!

Check out these colors! If I needed wraping paper and pussywillows I would have gotten them all!

here is hung, our guide wearing all the items we bought from the lo lo tribe! isnt he wonderful!

this woman was making a head scarf, i asked her if she had any that were finished and i bought one!
