Katrina K. Photography: Snorkeling With Dragons
http://katrinakphotography.blogspot.com/2014/07/snorkeling-with-dragons.html
Katrina K. Photography. A chronicle of travels, photography and life. Monday, July 7, 2014. We've been in Luanbajo, Flores for three days. Most people come here to scuba dive or see Komodo dragons. Us? We came here to get in a little beach time and do a little snorkeling on some (supposedly) awesome reefs, but mainly, we came here to try and see the quiet side of Indonesia. We had hoped that Ubud, Bali would give us that, but we were disappointed. Our villa, as viewed from the grounds. Our new best friend.

Katrina K. Photography: Eastern Bali
http://katrinakphotography.blogspot.com/2014/07/eastern-bali.html
Katrina K. Photography. A chronicle of travels, photography and life. Tuesday, July 29, 2014. Last week we left Flores and Kanawa behind, and made our way to Tulamben, in Eastern Bali. Toulamben is home of a volcano that was last active in 1965, USAT Liberty wreck just offshore, and black sand/rock beaches. Christine had some wonderful guests, and we met some great people, most of whom were French. I enjoyed practicing my very rusty French. This will please my mother. And the koi pond. And the pool,.

Katrina K. Photography. A chronicle of travels, photography and life. Friday, July 18, 2014. Tonight, Albeto invited us to the Seventh annual Ombak Bali International Surf Film Festival, held at the La Plancha beach bar in Seminyak. We got there just in time to have a new front row of bean bags put in place, so we had front row seats. Me, Tadashi and Cynthia. The film festival is all surfing movies and art. We watched a couple of shorts with slow motion surf, which was really beautiful. Eating in Hoi An.

Katrina K. Photography: Fiery Sunset
http://katrinakphotography.blogspot.com/2014/07/fiery-sunset.html
Katrina K. Photography. A chronicle of travels, photography and life. Wednesday, July 30, 2014. Yesterday we were extremely lucky and were able to attend a Balinese mass cremation. Even though we are in Nusa Lembongan, and island Southeast of Bali, people here follow Bali customs and religion. Seeing a cremation was on our wish-list, so we were stoked. It being in a place we really like was the proverbial icing on the cake. Getting ready to lift the main "float". I had lost it! We gulped down our drinks,...

http://katrinakphotography.blogspot.com/2014/06/new-friends-and.html
Katrina K. Photography. A chronicle of travels, photography and life. Tuesday, June 24, 2014. New Friends and Family. A small village West of the center of Ubud, Taman, has become our home away from home. Wayan and Ayu's place, Cozy Wayan Sueta, has been filled with humor, kindness, love, and drunken shenanigans- not necessarily in that order-. Since we arrived 13 days ago. The theme songs of this stay have been " Welcome to the Hotel Cozy-Sueta. Sung to the tune of the Eagles'. And " Chilli Sauce. But t...

Katrina K. Photography: Moonlit Beach
http://katrinakphotography.blogspot.com/2014/07/full-moon.html
Katrina K. Photography. A chronicle of travels, photography and life. Monday, July 14, 2014. The beach view from our accomocations for the night, a bale-bale*. So for the first time in my life, I went skinny dipping. It was amazing. There's a coral reef about ten feet off shore, so I stayed in the shallow water. The moon was so bright and the water was so clear that my body was casting a shadow onto the sand below, and i was occasionally startled by my own shadow, thinking it was a fish. A bale-bale is a...

Katrina K. Photography: Hoi An Love
http://katrinakphotography.blogspot.com/2014/07/hoi-love.html
Katrina K. Photography. A chronicle of travels, photography and life. Friday, July 4, 2014. I love Hoi An, and I'm sad to be leaving, but I'm also excited to be going to Labuanbajo and Komodo. Every time we visit Hoi An, we have a wonderful time, and this visit was no exception. This time, we found a fantastic Green Tea Home Stay (thanks Airbnb! Owned by the sweet Yan (pronounced Ian. And managed by the ever-cheerful Chi. Better still, we found some fantastic restaurants too! We had a lot of fun talking ...
