When I first saw the picture of the flower I thought the yellow part in the middle looked like a banana slice, myself. Orlando, your photography just keeps getting better and better. Thanks for sharing Bali with us.

I can't comment on the smell of the flower since I couldn't get close enough to smell it. But the yellow part looked just like a cupcake sitting in the middle of the petals. Also, thanks for the advice and don't worry! I also take plenty of pictures of people!

The pictures are beautiful,

The pictures are beautiful, Orlando. I'm particularly drawn to the shots of the sea and what an interesting flower. Does is smell as sweet as it looks?

But one caveat: I've been scanning old slides from the 60s and photos both older and more recent than the slides. I have found that the ones that mean the most are the ones with people in them. Be sure to get a lot of pictures that include the people you know and love.

Thanks for the nice comments,

Thanks for the nice comments, everyone!

The photo at the top of the post and the photo at the bottom were both taken at Seminyak, Bali, on the west coast, obviously!

The second photo is the Hindu temple Tanah Lot.

The next two are of rice patties, the first on the west coast and the second in the interior of the island.

The rocky beach is in Candidasa, on the east coast.

The money is one of hundreds of long-tailed macaques that live in the Monkey Forest of Ubud. Also of the Macaca fame, although curiously enough I did not see a resemblance to twenty-something Democratic campaign workers.

The flower is a water lily from an enormous koi pond in front of another Hindu temple in Ubud. Also, just outside the Ubud Starbucks.

This really has been a

Never, ever miss the experience, Orlando (I used to make that mistake, too) but thank you for taking and sharing these wonderful pics. What is that spectacular place in the top photo? What kind of monkey is that oh so charming visitor? Is it a Vervet? Do you remember what settings you used for that spectacular sunset shot? Thanks again.
