I have been going through the pictures again, only this time I thought I would share some of the favorite pictures that I have taken over the years. Believe me when I say that there are A LOT more than these but I didn't want to scare you away. I sure had fun looking at them though and thinking about the times when they were taken.
Enjoy.

A spontaneous game - Accra, Ghana
We were visiting some micro-entrepeneurs and all of a sudden, here was an entire group of girls on this dusty street just dancing and playing a jumping game.

Are these not the cutest faces in the world! We were visiting a school for orphan children in Salem, India. The girls and boys would have stood there forever and let me take as many pictures as I wanted.

This is Blanchard Hall at Wheaton College where The Engaged One and The Shoe Queen are students. The Almost Son-in-Law is also a student here. I grew up in Wheaton and spent many an hour on the campus.

Oh, how I miss Zachary ... how he'd purr and growl at the same time.
ReplyDeleteLoved ALL the shots. Talk about diversity!
Wow, great photos! I love them all but the palm oil seller's children is my favourite. They are so captivating!
ReplyDeleteBe well ~Andrea~
You've been all over! I love the pictures, especially the ones from India and Peru! I want more! I want to hear what you were doing there and where you went and who you went with and ... do I seem stalker-ish to you?
ReplyDelete@ Dandy- Oh I can go on and on about the travel and one of these days I will. We tend to take an international trip about every twelve months or so. You never know where we might end up.
