Change of plans: We originally planned to fly back to Vientiane but the airline called me and said that the flight had been canceled. I guess not enough people on the plane.
It's easy enough to drive to Vientiane now, though it takes eight hours. However, it's eight hours through incredible scenery, especially during this time of the year when the skies and clear and the late afternoon light is so beautiful.

The tall grasses glow in the sunlight. People cut these grasses and pound the seeds out of them before tying them up to make brooms.

Grass in the sunlight.
Mountains in the distance.
Last view of the plum tree before we left for Vientiane. I imagine that by the time I return to Xieng Khouang, I will have missed the final stage of the blossoms - when they fall off and cover the ground with pink. I tell my friends that this is Xieng Khouang pink snow.
This is my contribution to Skywatch Friday, whose members post pictures of the skies around the world.

Wow and wow again! Hard to pick a favourite but I do especially like the one with the moon.

With that kind of scenery - who want to fly?
awesome sights all but the ones with the moon and the other with the mountains tie for the winners spot!
Your photos are all lovely! My favorite is the "grasses in sunlight" one...the sun flare is incredible.
Some gorgeous natural photos here...although my favourite has to be the grass with the moon
