Well I was down Sattahip yesterday and I had the choice of helping them all clear and deweed gardens or think up some excuse to do something else, after watching the kids screaming as the big red ants swarmed all over them as they loaded the cut branches off of the mango tree onto the pick up I decided to think of something else to do, plus there was about a Rai of land that they had to clear.

So I decided my new hobby would be taking close up pictures of flowers, much better than being attacked by poxy ants, there was another choice which was to go and see the local fortune teller with all the girls, the being eaten alive by ants was preferential to trying to sit on the floor for a couple of hours cross legged listening to some idiot who thinks he can see into the future, if he could he wouldn't be living in some ordinary house he would be living in a mansion with servants and all that, hell he could afford to pay somebody else to pretend to be a fortune teller to save himself the hassle, still Thai women enjoy that sort of rubbish.

Anyway here is my first one, I have to admit I took a couple of hundred pictures as hand holding a camera and taking pictures on macro don't really go together that well.
