Quick take the photo before spring goes.....

That is how I feel. I took these shots on the weekend, I was hoping to get Cherry Blossoms too, but I was too late. This is what I have editied, I will put more up tomorrow.

I wanted to apologise for not leaving any comments last night - I had planned to after putting the kids to bed. Well the littlest kid and I were playing and she ended up falling on my face and I think I have broken my nose! Needless to say I didn't get to the comments. I will tonight, thanks for all your comments yesterday.

Thanks to all you for your kind feedback - I appreciated it.

We had icecreams on the the weeked and I couldn't help myself.

I do feed my kids healthy food too, it is just I never seem to photograph it.

I couldn't choose which version I prefer.

Temple Stuff

These are some shots from a Buddhist temple we visited.

Are you Hungry?

Do you feel like a Korean snack?

I promise you these are real, and I did not make them up!

First we have a regular corn dog but then to add to the calories it is re-dipped in batter, rolled in chips (fries) and then fried again!

Our second choice for those not wanting something fried twice is the chocolate corn dog! This is just s regular corn dog, that is then dipped in chocolate or strawberry topping and sprinkled with hundreds and thousands! I bet your mouth is just watering!

Budha

I have this rapidly growing collection of Budha photos. Actually I am not sure if they are all budha, they are different God's or non christian icons, but as I don't know their names, they are budhas to me. I ma fascinated at how different people seek God and how they represent Him in their lives.

Fairy Floss

Please excuse my absence - I am in the middle of putting a year book toghether and there is little time for anything else. But I did manage to get these shots in of my Corky and her love affair with Fairy Floss/Cotton Candy.

Nepali Memories

I have really struggled with this editing process - I have been in meetings all day and yesterday so I have been editing these on my laptop. I am officially stating that I hate using the laptop for these. I hope the colours are not too off?

More Nepal, you will be sick of these soon, but I keep finding more shots I want to post.

More Nepal

Thanks for all your kind feedback -I am going to answer some of the questions from the feedback. Nepal is the most amazing country, everyone has mobile phones, yet the roads are still dirt. It is dirty, smelly and wonderful! The food tastes so good and the best part is you eat it with your hands - rice and curry with your hands! It is truly a third world country and they still load share power - every week for 2 nights a week you have now power from 4pm - 8pm. Most houses do not have running water and you will see people bathing in buckets on their front doorstep, yet when a Nepali man was in the final for Indian Idol the whole city of Kathmandu had a block party with firecrackers!

Our church was doing a mission trip so we decided to go and we spent 10 days living and working in an orphanage. It was the most challenging and rewarding experience of my life. It changed my girls perspective on so many issues. We live a blessed life, we travel, we live internationally, we want it - we buy it. My daughters helped wash clothes by hand with rocks and soap, they sat on the floor to eat their food and they had to first help cook the food and carry the water inside to prepare the food. They had to have cold showers for 4 days because there was no sun, so no hot water. Now when they whinge that their hat is not pink, I point out they are lucky to have a hat and they get it. The kids and the workers are now part of our life. Each month we send care packages and my girls send their pocket money at the end of each month. We will return to Nepal in October and spend another 10 days there - Nepal and it's people touched my life more than I can ever touch theirs.

Gosh that was a chapter book!

I have been inspired to play a bit with actions - ok long way to go but I feel I am starting to understand maybe 2% of what I need to know.

Nepal

I know I am jumping countries, but I am sick of editing my Korea shots. We took a mission trip to Nepal last October. It was the first mission trip my girls have been on. Anyway I have finally got around to editing my images. Here are a few shots I have been working on today.

The ocean - at last

We took my parents for a trip to the Eastern side of Korea to see the ocean. I was not expecting much as all my trips to the beach here have left me disapointed - rocky beaches, dirty water. Well was I surprised when we got to the beach. It was gorgeous. It was freezing, but that didn't stop my girls.
