Confidence... thrives on honesty, on honor, on the sacredness of obligations, on faithful protection and on unselfish performance. Without them it cannot live. Franklin D. Roosevelt

Trumpeter Swans Protecting their cygnet. I had to stumble down a pretty steep rocky embankment. This put the parents on high alert. I realized after getting into position that they were actually paddling towards me. At that same time I realized that there was no easy or quick way to get away if they decided to attack. So I sat very still hoping they would determine that I wasn't a threat. This image was taken as they decided that I wasn't going to be a problem, so they swam away. Whew!

The Dao Thanh Phán women’s dress features vibrant embroidered garments with symbolic motifs, red box hats adorned with tassels and silver ornaments, and indigo-dyed fabrics. The intricate designs and bright colors, especially red, are believed to ward off wild animals and evil spirits, providing protection in their mountainous environment. Their attire reflects their cultural identity, spiritual beliefs, and connection to nature, blending practicality with tradition.

I will never forget the mment i first saw these brightly dressed women working in the rice fields of Binh Lieu. These elaborate costumes are their daily wear.
