Chiang Mai, Thailand


 July 2011

I would say more, but I really struggled with formatting the photos on post.  There has got to be a better way, or a better blog tool.

This lovely lady of a Karen Hill Tribe weaves scarves for a  living
while her husband works in the fields.  Her baby is asleep in the hammock behind her.



Another Karen Hill Tribe Elder

We went on a tricky and slippery hike this day.  Beautiful waterfall, but treacherous  climbing.
Beautiful roof adornments

The Elephant Nature Park


Each elephant has his own mix of daily fruits.  Some of them are quite selective about which fruits they will eat.  The baskets have the elephants names on them.

As usual...Amazing Photos! I especially like the one of the girls next to the lady w/the interesting hat. I would never have realized how tiny she was.
