First Sunday photos

Joe and Henry are using a camera harness holster. If I want to, I can use a trampoline and the camera will stay close to my body.  Since I really am not concerned what I look like.. this will work for me.  Also, the lens is great.   i can't do anything close.. but when I got out, I will carry the short and wide lens. I have done this trip a few times...and each time I think..what do I bring.  The first trip, i spent hours and $ at interest cafe.  This year, I have my laptop, tablet, two phones. and a good editor.  The picture is in my mirror with no flash... I like it... and I live the harness.  Before I left I went to Rowe's and got a tether for the lens cap.  Yesterday, I was getting tangled up with the harness tether and the lens cap tether.  I was thinking.... might want to leave the lens cap home...
 Be careful what you wish for.  As I took the bike to the street when Cheryl and Candy will be staying... I heard a soft blink.. and when I looked down I saw the cap tether sliding into the street sewer hole.... bye bye lens cap. What are the chances of the cap dropping directly into the sewer hole.   i did not have a second of thought to retrieving it. After this event, I went back to the bank.  I called Summit last night and found that you can only withdraw $500 a day from an ATM.  So i paid 22,000 of the 34000 and will extract the remaining money after my class, acupuncture and breakfast and before massage.  And it is all good. With the bank under control,
This morning at breakfast and was sitting alone enjoying my own company and for a second I gave a thought to eating with someone.  When I am sitting by myself, I think...ah would it not be just sweet to be sitting with a friend..etc.  When I looked up I saw two friends haveing breakfast... mmmm we are along.

I at least was having breakfast with a strong connection to self... i think both of these women were wondering why they agreed to do this trip with each other...

to be fair, the med don't do much better.  Cell phones are the isolater and a massive plot to get people way from the here and now... The second man is waiting.. I could say waiting for Godot... but more probably the shopping wife.  He is the person there is a beer tent at the CHAF...so the men are entertained....i say...get a life and go learn about monkeys..    i S                                 

The Thai's are strong in family and generally very caring with the children. I went to the Thape Gate this morning to watch everyone setting up.  While everyone is busy you sense it is a family thing as in the baby helping to set up.  No one said.. don't touch that.

I am not sure what happened to get the little one dirty or weather it was just hot and she needed to cool off.  Big brother is watching her scream as father pours water over her.... You can imagine this is noon at the plaza in front of the Thape Gate.... it matters not that they are in the middle of setting up... just time to do the water on the baby thing.

And finally a collage taken from the same location with different focus and energy.  I really liked the helmet shot... my helmet hardly fits and has a pink dragon on it... but then my licence plate holder says kitti... must be i am a pussy cat.
