~Just Playing ~
The children of Nepal are the most special I’ve encountered anywhere. There has been chat about Nepal lately and I have huge longings to return. This shot was taken from my trip in late 2007 along the trek to Mt. Everest Base Camp. The little villages and people along the way are priceless.
