Leaf: Why do I like teacups so much? I think it's because (to me) they mean…beauty, friendship and rest. I can't wait to sit and drink tea with you. I miss you and talk about you all the time. (Yarramundi, Australia)

Rae: I've been wanting to get a close up of the rice harvest ever since we got back, and then I was at Josh and Naomi's new house, and this was happening in their backyard. Whoa. (Pai, Thailand)
