Last Day on Langkawi Island

Rolling out to the taxi with our new Bangladeshi friend.





The "Fish Walk" that my boys did races on going to and from the beach. A fun touch of color!





A plant which reminded me of fireworks. Exploding in it's pose . . . hot green!





Pruitt . . . thrilled to be in the water . . . thrilled to be alive . . . living in the moment like so many of us have forgotten how to do.

Thirsty Leaves

I took these shots this morning from our veranda. This image captures what I saw when I took the picture. By sharpening it a bit and portraying it in black and white, I think I captured a little bit of the beauty of the chemistry of water and the subtleties of the leaf upon which the droplets crowd.





Here is the unvarnished image before it met Photoshop. Critique anyone?



I love color and so with this next photo I went crazy with the tropical green that was in my memory versus the unfamiliar hues that my camera captured.




...those unfamiliar hues.

Water Boys

My sons . . . I am speechless.

The Younger Two

This is my "mejho" (middle) son Pruitt. A little man after my own heart. He has his hands in clay. After trekking down to the river the boys had a blast splashing around and collecting mud. This is the first time they have been able to swim since they've arrived. They were in little boy heaven.



This is Riley in one of his rare quiet moments.

The Front Part of the Boat

I am not a good sailor or pirate. Arghh! Matey! This photo has some issues but I can't quite grasp what they are. I love the textures. The triangular composition grounds the picture. I think the rope is the problem. It looks posed. What is the little white circle? I guess I can use this photo as source material for a watercolor. Ha!
