Sponge gourd flowers have such a brilliant, sunny yellow color that really catches the eye. Finding them blooming during a local walk is always a nice treat!

Early morning walks by the water really are the absolute best way to start the day. There is a unique kind of peace before the rest of the world wakes up!

Nothing quite like the golden glow of a village sunset, especially when it reflects across the water during the rainy season!

The view from the second-floor balcony looks like a wonderful spot to pause and take in the surroundings. It's great that you get to share those moments with your students.

There is something so deeply comforting about a trusted local pharmacy being open on a Sunday when you really need relief. So glad the medication finally kicked in for you.

Congratulations to your daughter on heading off to study at Moscow University of MISIS! That is a huge milestone for the family.

The earthy brown and dark tones of the Carolina locust provide such great camouflage against foliage. It's always fun spotting them during a daytime walk!
