You are actually very perceptive. This particular Buddha was not with the others and was not as old. He is made of metal for sure. He was with two others that were similar, with eyes. He'd maybe be less confused looking if he didn't have eyes painted on.
9 months agoHa! Floor and ceiling -- all yours!

9 months agoI'm channeling Mr. Grumby in this comment..
Floyd the barber on the Andy Griffith Show would ask, "Well, if they're not your friends, whose friends are they?"
I'm going to hold you to this!
Can't wait to see it. Maybe it will keep the predators away from your pond?
Waitaminute .. you *do* have fish in your pond, right? Or am I totally misremembering that?
Nice colour coordination!
9 months agoA wonderful series!
Each unique and beautiful face conveying a unifying feeling of peace, contentment, and equanimity.
Well, except for the 2nd to last Buddha. He looks a teensy bit worried(?) Maybe because he's the only one with his eyes open? And my perception is likely inaccurate! What do *you* see?
An orbweaver of some kind.

Yes, it's not a part of the world one immediately thinks of great coffee but Laos produces some of the very best in the world. It all goes to Vietnam and France. Vietnam also produces great coffee and now northern Thailand does as well. All three countries produce coffee that is a little different from one another but I love all of it. I'm sure you would too. It would be so fun to sit down with you and drink some coffee and then catch up with what you and I have done for the last twenty years!
9 months agoIt's funny, I never ever think of 7-Eleven when I'm home and I wonder if I've even entered one in the States! Probably not. But in Thailand there is hardly a day that goes by we don't go to 7-Eleven for either soy milk, electrolyte packets or ice cream. Occasionally we buy toothpaste, shampoo and conditioner. Although half the store is chid oriented we don't ever buy anything but these items I mentioned.
9 months agoFunny enough. My two guilty pleasures are coffee and ice cream as well. I had really no idea that coffee is such a thing in South East Asia. It always sounds so delicious and refreshing when you write about your coffee stops, … I can almost smell and taste the coffee here
9 months agoYes. They sleep on the road after a long night of mischief.
9 months agoI can relate to your description of the 7 Eleven experience.
Being drawn in, spun around, and spat out.
This is how I feel during many shopping experiences.
Usually I find this feeling to be unpleasant, and once in a while I can have fun with it.
I love this photo!
And this is my first encounter with the word 'barcalounger'.
It sounds cool and is fun to say!
Andrea has a whole pannier full of different colored shirts. When we approach a bridge she stops and digs through her pannier and puts on the appropriate color shirt to go with the color of the bridge. I doubt many other cyclists are so particular or precise.
