Everyday is a new Beginning; "Jadid Culyum"

Cat awaits food
Mallards in search of food


Guinea foul
Association and teaching school


Neighbor boy shows me baby ducks
Freshly caught fish 

Neighbor boy loves my camera

Lots of sheep herding here
Family prepares cous cous with cat
Sunset from rooftop
I have been enjoying all that comes my way. I am an observer here and wonder when I will be a part of the script or story. All is well here as I continue to overwhelm my camera with photos of daily life. My site mate is gone and I feel confident in continuing alone as I make new friends each day. I am learning that no day is a like and being flexible is becoming more and more natural. I have been able to take in as much nature as possible, watch the growth of baby animals, view the sunset each day, learn to make cous-cous for an entire community, educate my family about the devastating health effects of burning plastics, admire farmers and herders, teach small children English while sharing what I know in Arabic, watch funny soap operas, eat a lot and drink sweet mint tea and talk to strangers who are now my friends. Everyday is a new beginning...
