Leaf: Yamuna and the Pipal Tree Shadows. This is Yamuna. She is our neighbour. Her last calf died a year ago. I'm praying that her calf which is due in a couple of months will be healthy and strong. Isn't she a beautiful cow? (Varanasi, India)

Rae: Don't be too alarmed by this head in the sand. I'm pretty sure it's friendly. (Mostly.) (Arambol, India)

Leaf: Going for long walks along the river is one of my favourite things to do in this city when the weather is cool (as it is these days). Do you want to come and have a stroll with me Rae? (Varanasi, India)

Rae: We landed in India the day before yesterday and straight away I was greeted by one of my favorite sights: a man sleeping in a public place (in this case, the airport.) (Dabolim, India)

Leaf: Saris Flying. I love that this sari dying place is right near my house. Sometimes the colours change four or five times a day. It's like an ever changing and moving sculpture. (Varanasi, India)

Rae: These two were irresistible as we walked down the street in Bangkok. Especially the little boy with his robot costume made of old food containers. (Bangkok, Thailand)

Leaf: The Love of my Life sitting under the full moon on the roof talking to God. I love this man. (Varanasi, India)

Rae: I dug through my old photos to find this one of my love swimming with Isaac, because I didn't have time or lighting to take a new one. Conclusion on looking through my archives? Take more photos of him. (Pai, Thailand)

Leaf: This temple door reminds me of the bhajan words 'Deep jale Prabhu naama rahe, mere mandira mai…' Light the lamp for the name of the Lord to remain in the temple of my heart.' I need to remember the beautiful Name especially these days when there is lots of change and uncertainty in my little world. (Varanasi, India)

Rae: We're at the bus stop on our second leg of traveling to India, getting ready to get on a night bus to Bangkok. This is the kind of bus that Kenya used to call "dog-ear buses," because their mirrors reminded her of dog ears. (Chiang Mai, Thailand)
