Love this post and adore the blue painted fingernails! 🙂
Thanks, Nicole. That is my favorite picture. The contrast of the beans and the fingernails was perfect. I wish I could catch more shots like that one.
That is a lovely shot! I’m sure you’ll catch more! 🙂 Keep that “third” eye ready!

I really like your post. Very creative. And I like the name of the cart. El Titanic! 😀
Thanks, Zen. I thought it was so funny because we live on an island and the only way back and forth is on the ferry.
I loved both photos and quotes. I especially like the oxen. 🙂

Thanks, Janet. Aren’t they magnificent?
The pictures really tell a story here and the quotes are a lovely touch. I have similar types of photos from my time exploring rural towns in Cambodia.
Thanks for your lovely comment, Samuel.
El Titanic—Love that! What a nice job you’ve done with these photographs.
Thanks, Cris.
Well done!
Thanks, dimlamp. I really liked your photo as well. It reminded me so much of my church activities growing up.

This is great. I love the pictures and the quotes. There is beauty in this hard-working community and sustainability.
Oh, there is so much beauty in our hard-working community. The locals are humble and gracious people.
another great post ! Love to read about your community 🙂
Isn’t blogging fun? I learn so much about my blogging family, too. 🙂
Sometimes we forget those simple, labor intensive activities that sustain life….great selection of photos.
Thanks, Beauty. The labor-intensive activities surround me daily. What once was so shocking, is now so normal.
And I love ‘Have goats, will raise’! 🙂
Thanks, Madhu. They raised them all by themselves, then sold them to breed.
I love the cart 🙂
Haha. Me, too. El Titanic.
