The skies are so changeable. In one day, so clear and a moment later, cold and overcast.
I told this on my walk and jog this morning.

Oh I love that plum tree, beautiful! Happy skywatching :)
Your plum tree is beautiful and your landscape is quite tranquil. Very nice!
Great plum tree!
What a breathtaking view...I wish I could visit Lao someday. Not far from where I am. Thanks for visiting my page. Happy New Year too!
PS, I've added you to my Reads...section. I also love to read about SE Asia blogs.
I love that plum tree. Excellent.
In a strong contrast to our 50cm of snow the last 24hrs :-) A happy new year to you and your family.
That first photo was all according to "the book". Happy New Year!
As others have said, that plum tree is beautiful. Weird, though, to see a sign of spring on January 2. :-)
Chanpheng: Those are two special captures of the sky.
She is a fickle beauty, to be sure! And you capture her well.
Very nice photos which mean a lot to me knowing that you took them in Laos ... I visited that beautiful country three years ago (in January 2006) and loved it very much, especially the warm and gentle character of Lao people ... I dream to visit Luang Prabang once again one day ... Happy New Year! :-)
Nice pics happy new year
so wonderful to have a glimpse into your world.
I've never seen a plum tree, let alone one that is flowering and full of flowers like that .... Would love to see when they are fruiting.
Thanks for visiting and commenting on my blog.
HAPPY NEW YEAR to you too.

Both pics are so nice! This hut....is it some kind of lake dwelling? Or just looks like;)
Thank you everyone for your comments.
Vietnamese have cultivated plum, orange and peach and other fruit trees for years. More recently, a UN agency promoted growing plums for opium cultivation substitution. The plums are super sour but get better as the tree ages; however, they are great for making plum wine!
@Muge - I hope you make it back to Laos. I love Louangprabang too but haven't gotten a chance to visit there for about 3 years.
@Ana - the house is a resting place for people working in the fields. During rice planting and harvesting season, people may just stay in their fields so they can wake early and work late.
Really lovely photos of the sky in your part of the world. Thanks so much for sharing them with SWF.
Lovely plum blossom, but I like the rice paddys in the first one too although it still is a bit dark to see the landscape clearly.
Sorry for being late. The plum tree is so beautiful with all its pink flowers.
