Rice field

Today we spent some time outside of Chiang Mai and enjoyed watching some farmers in their rice fields.

 

Flower Festival

What an amazing display of color at the "Flower Festival"

We had a fun time walking around and seeing the beautiful flowers that are grown in and around Chiang Mai. Some of the arrangements were really nice. I am so thankful God made flowers a part of His wonderful creation on this earth for us to enjoy.

 

Beautiful Nepal

At last the pictures from Nepal.....

Most of these were taken at the end of our week when we had a couple days to look around after the week of meetings.
