One of my faves

I love this picture. I love it so much that I put it in one of my website galleries, posted on my Facebook group, and used it as my blog link photo. I think it's obvious why it's one of my favorites. I caught this little guy at the perfect moment. Nobody was trying to make him laugh, but I do remember what he found so hilarious. I was in Vietnam with a group visiting some of the floating villages in Halong Bay. Hundreds of islets rise straight out of the water and fishermen and their families live in floating villages moored to the rocks—each tiny house lashed to its neighbor.  The children play in small boats the way kids here play on their bicycles. In order for us to get from our large boat to a floating school, we had to be ferried in small, round wicker boats sealed with tar. Dozens of kids rowed out to meet us and offer their services. I had just planted myself precariously in one of the little boats, when I looked over and saw two large men perched in one small boat, and a tiny girl at the helm. Just beyond her was the subject of my photo—her brother—killing himself laughing! I'm not sure what he found more hilarious—the impossibly small girl working the oars, or the two giants nervously clutching the sides of the boat.
