A Lesson in Patience
Where did this terrible desire to rush through my day and cram everything I can into every minute of the day come from?I know I’m not the only one who does this.

Honestly, his photography will take your breath away. Go check it out!
And On The First Day….

Reflections of Angkor
With my three day pass to Angkor Wat.
It’s almost impossible to post pictures of Angkor Wat. There are millions of images of Angkor available on the web and none of them really do it any justice. Angkor is indescribable…but I’m going to give it a try.
The best part of the day to visit is definitely [...]
