Country life Hunan

some photos of the lifestyle in the countryside of Hunan China.  A place I hope to move to one day.
Maybe become a rice farmer... Who knows, anything is possible!

Shepherd's Field Orphanage

Below are some photos from our most recent visit to Shepherd's Field Orphanage in a city close to Beijing. All the children are disabled in some way, many suffering from many problems like cleft palate, blindness, deafness, heart problems, and many other things I have can't even spell.  To put it bluntly they need a lot of things most of which can be gotten by cash donations.  Surgery is what many of these kids needs and badly.  There are few organizations here that help provide the types of operations that these kids need.  Many have heart defects  so please help out if you can.  Any little bit helps.



If you are interested in donating to this orphanage they have an online pay pal account.  You can visit their website at:  http://www.chinaorphans.org/ourneeds.htm 

I will warn you that it may be difficult to view some of these photos.

Mountains of 张家界

Below are some photos I took on my most recent trip to Hunan province at the Zhang Jia Jie mountain ranges.
It was a treasure trove of beautiful mountains and insect wildlife.  I look forward to going back there some time soon and get even more photos.

caves

Below are some caves found in Hu Nan 湖南 province.  I wish that I could have captured better how vast and amazing these caves truly were but I guess my simple photos will have to do.

Enjoy

creepy crawlies

Here are some photos from Hu Nan province.  As you can tell it is full of little worms and insects.  There were of course beautiful views of mountains and trees and you will see some of those later but I kept my eyes to the ground as much as looking up, the uneven steps and step climbs were a major reason for that!
