Thanks! I moved to Thailand after one of my Thai Morehead University students showed me photos he'd taken at Khao Yai National Park, Thailand. I told him I would go there myself and take photos, so I did. I've been teaching ESL here since 2016, and spend free time in swamps, climbing cliffs, hiking in jungles taking bird and wildlife photos. I have many photos on Big Stock photos to sell, but they only earn a tiny amount. It's mostly for my pleasure.

What an outstanding life you have led birdingnut,you have a brilliant brain and you have used it well. Your interest in astronomy catches my attention. I have made 2 astronomical Newtonian telescopes one a 6 inch and the second an 8 inch including the mirrors. I include the 6 inch picture being viewed by two of my delightful Chinese ladies that I have had boarding with me. Thanks for your response to my request. I also add my two adopted Chinese grand daughters featured in the scope picture.[and you are a photographer!! ]
