Don't these rocks look like they're walking or floating on the water? At daybreak, the boat, along with a small group of passengers, headed straight for these rocks reaching up to the sky, in Thailand waters with warm, humid temps.
Once inside the collection of huge rocks protruding from the water, these "walking sticks" or large tree men were discovered. I must say, with my imagination, these seem a bit scary.
Yet, I found these bent-over tree branches fascinating in their community of clustered walking tree-sticks!
I love this photo of a monk and the little boy.
The No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency
"She watched as he raised it to his lips and then, so suddenly, from that tiny cup of metal against his flesh, the sound would burst out like a glorious, brilliant knife dividing the air."From National Bestseller "The No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency" by Alexander McCall Smith

That is a great choice, paints a wonderful picture. I have read several of her books and enjoy them.
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda. I'm looking forward to reading more. My mother-in-law wanted to share this one with me.
DeleteI have this book on my TBR stacks...but haven't read it yet. I must!
ReplyDeleteHere's MY FRIDAY MEMES POST
I had no idea y'all we're reading this one!
DeleteLovely photos, and like you, I am drawn to the monk and child.
ReplyDeleteI love McCall-Smith and have read a book or two myself. Good stuff!
Gee, she must be a good author. Thanks for the recommendation.
DeleteThe monk and little boy is a nice capture. Our lake was flooded when the dam was installed back in the early 1900's. Now there are lots of stumps that look like they are walking along the shore when the water goes down in late summer and fall. Much like your walking trees, but no longer living. - Margy
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear of the flood but how interesting of the stumps and I can sure visualize that. Thank you, I like the monk pic, too!
ReplyDeleteIn answer to your question, the rocks have two purposes. I do like the looks and love to collect rocks for decoration. Also, when I cook on top of my wood stove using a dutch oven, I heat the rocks and put them on top to help keep the inside of the pot warmer. Kind of a substitute for coals on top, which wouldn't work indoors. - Margy
Deleteare you in thailand right now? as always your photos have made me a bit nostalgic!i've been to mangrove areas too ... lovely lovely! i love your book choice too -- great mystery series :)
