This is one of my favorite photos. My friend travels everyday to tend to the cows on his farm. Sometimes I travel with him. On the morning of Lunar New Year, before we started our work, we climbed together to the peak of a mountain beside his farm. We burned incense and tossed offerings beside the tree in this photo. It's a tree that my friend's nine year old daughter once drew for me from memory. This photo reminds me of the snow that was falling and of the realization that my fingers had gone numb from cold. It shows me my friend as he offers milk to the tree that guards his family's farm visible below. After this moment, the sun rose behind clouds to shine the new year's first light, and we rose our arms while shouting out our greetings. Happy Lunar New Year! Sar shindee saihan shineleerei!

When grass is scarce in the winter, every little clump matters. This camel was part of a herd that had traveled in from another area, but as a result was grazing on grass that was intended for local cattle. The herder who caught the outsider camels intimidating his cows, chased away the band of grass poachers. This bandit camel and his crew are still at large
