The Longan Baby
Isn't this cute?!
As I was cycling along a tiny road in Ben Tre Province a few weeks ago, I came sight after sight to make a foodie's heart sing. This was the first: a whole family, packing up longans grown probably just down the road.
The longans arrived in large baskets, still on the stalk and accompanied by abundant leaves.
Each little round longan would then be plucked free, and packed like a jigsaw puzzle into large white crates.
The family thought it completely hilarious that I wanted to take photographs of their work, and laughed even harder when I started to photograph the baby - but who, honestly, couldn't resist such a sight?
More from that amazing bike ride coming soon...

What a cute little baby! Those big, round, very Asian eyes - I also would not have been able to resist photographing him if I were there :) I also photograph anything that interests me and I get that experience a lot - people being so amused at your interest of what is mundane and everyday to them. But I can always deal with their amused and shy giggling, I prefer that over people who won't let you photograph them :)
