By thy hands must all be fed

Seriously considering Buddhism these days.
During one of my last days in Thailand, I visited the Indian market to pick up some more gorgeous sarongs and floor length dresses. Feeling oh so hungry (when wasn’t I feeling this way?) I found this gentleman creating offerings in front of the food stall I was investigating. He looked so peaceful, so determined amidst all the traffic whizzing by him, the calls from nearby kiosk owners, etc. I couldn’t take my eyes off of him. I loved the color of his skin, similar to my own and his hands…how he created beautiful offerings made of various types of flowers, all the while balancing a cigarette. Quels yeux!

I love the first picture.
The color of his skin and especially the colors of the flowers in the offering is so beautiful Vivid, but subtle enough not to distract too much from the rest of the image.
Gosh how I wish I was in your shoes.

Thank you, Beeyoo! You really know how to express your eye.
