With all the hartals, demonstrations and unrest this is a great theme for Bangladesh. This sign is in front of Carzon Hall of Dhaka University, Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Sunday Post: Doors
Is a door the way in or the way out? It depends...are you coming or going?
We find many interesting doors in life.
Sometimes we know just what we need...
Other times the choice is not so clear...
Some doors are lovely...
Others scary...
Some are daunting...
It would be nice if we could sneak a peek...
Some doors are difficult to get to...
What a great theme with great comments! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
Bengali New Year 1420 :Shuvo Nobhoborsho! Pahela Baishakh
I wish a Happy Bengali New Year to All My Friends in Bangladesh!
I confess I was busy getting my income tax report ready to file to meet tomorrow’s deadline. I guess I do have an automatic 2 month extension, but I’d rather not take it. Anyway, we heard marchers outside on the street, so I headed out and grabbed a rickshaw to catch them on Sir Sayeed Rd. Then I decided since I was out to go to Manik Mia, so I asked the rickshaw wallah to take me there (http://www.thedailystar.net/beta2/news/nation-mingles-with-baishakh-colours/) . The lanes on both sides of the median were painted the whole way from Mirpur Rd. to the circle where Manik Mia splits. It was nice to take a break and see the festive air of the city. The photo of me was taken by the rickshaw wallah!
I hope this is a great year for Bangladesh in spite of the many hartals, demonstrations, etc. recently.

White-Throated Kingfisher on a Sunny Day
I decided to return and capture this beautiful kingfisher on a sunny morning. I also used a Tamron 2x converter with my 70-300 Canon lens on the 7D. I think it is a better photo than the last one I posted. Some of you may say,”another bird!”

Gift of Grandparents
Nobody can do for little children what grandparents do.
Grandparents sort of sprinkle stardust over the lives of little children.

There is no grandfather who does not adore his grandchild.

Perfect love sometimes does not come until the first grandchild.
- Welsh Proverb
A grandparent is a best friend, teacher, cheerleader, and counselor.
Something magical happens when parents turns into grandparents.
I loved this post, since it is close to my heart since I am a grandpa!
