Sugar cane flower on top when ready to harvest.
miles and miles of green fields, it is beautiful.
The field in the back is already cut.
This is very typical Jeepney driver, or any other Filipino,
wearing standard gear T shirt for headwrap. They
hate the sun to shine on their heads for some reason. They look
like Muslin terrorists


This is a local baptismal font in the back yard
of the little branch in Medellin. They said
tall people have to double over to get fully
immersed.
Little sign posted on a fence around the corner
from where we live. Notice, the penalty for dumping
cats is 500 pesos. That is around $10.00. When I
come home I am going to do the same thing for $50.00
per cat. My price will include a scenic ride to
the Bonneville Salt Flats for each load of cats.
I don't know what to say about this except it
is NIPA fruit. It grows abundantly on palm-like
trees that spring our of wetlands and marshes.
the hulls you see are hard and very tough to open.
I have no idea what the fruit is like inside.
This is the LDS Church production and photo
crew that was sent to cover the lifting of Angel
Moroni onto the new Temple. All the pictures
were taken with this cool remote control helicopter.
I flew up and around the Temple spire and throughout
the Temple area, with a 360 degree
camera mounted on the nose.

This be me and my lady.


We got up close to these little guys. They hang
upside down in trees. I believe they are called Lemirs.
They are sometimes called flying monkeys. They
must be nocturnal because while we were there,
they were motionless.
This is another of those adorable little Tarsis Monkeys.
All they do is cling to their limb and blink.
This little guy is saying "ohhh boyyy", not another tourist.

This is a little homeless family we see almost every
day as we drive to and from work. The dad is
fixing some rice using the road as his table. They
move around the city in a little 4 by 6 trailer with 6 inch,
wheels. He pushes it by hand.
He recenlty found a tarp that he puts
over them to keep them dry.

This is their home. All of them sleep in
this at one time. Quite a pile.
Just another picture of the same family. They spend
100 % of their time outdoors.
This is the scene of a fatal traffic accident, one week
after the accident. A bus hit this little "Trisikad".
Notice the little rock memorial next to the road.
It has a little stick propped upright as a memorial.
No one bothered to remove the Trisikad.
