We spent some time in an old fishing village on the edge of Tonle Sap lake in Cambodia..
Love these innocent faces....and the pearl necklace!
Such a beautiful mom!
These two were all smiles!
This guy isn't as sure of us!
In all my travels this is the first time I've seen children with swollen bellies.
I just love everything about this little fellow! The intent stare, the dirty face and the soccer ball!
Rice patties and lotus fields behind us!
As you can see the houses are on stilts. We were there during the dry season but were told that during the wet season the lake will rise so that the water level is about 3 feet below the houses. This photo illustrates just how drastic a change that must be. That is a lot of rain and this from someone who lives in Portland!
As you might guess, fishing is an important part of their lives.
Elaborate fish traps were in abundance. Little fishes swim in and can't find their way out.
The best part of our time in this village for me was photographing the local children. They were curious about the three bus loads of foreigners who descended upon their little village.
Someone from the group gave this little doll a balloon!
And this little cutie...strolling past 90 strangers with not a stitch of clothing but proudly holding onto his treasure of a piece of wood!
