TEA STAND WALLA
I took this photo on Taj Mahal road in Mohammadpur, Dhaka, Bangladesh.

GROUNDHOG DAY
We don’t have Punxsutawney Phil but we do have butterflies. Looking at the calendar we have 13 more days of Winter in Bangladesh. This butterfly was photographed in Sri Mongol in June. Since this day is about shadows I thought this shadow would be great to feature.
Groundhog Day is an annual holiday celebrated on February 2nd in the United States and Canada on which if a groundhog emerges from its burrow and fails to see its shadow because the weather is cloudy, winter will soon end. If on the other hand, it is sunny and the groundhog sees its shadow, the groundhog will supposedly retreat into its burrow, and winter will continue for six more weeks.
Can this butterfly see its shadow?
YOUNG LADS
I had a nice walk this morning to Farmgate with my XTI in hand. I was asked to stop at a tea stand for a cup of tea and conversation. With some help I located a restroom in a bus company administrative building. Upon exiting I found a fellow who wanted to discuss politics, so we chatted as I resumed my walk. We parted ways near farmgate and I looked for photo-ops before returning home. Todays’ photo is of two lads who wanted their photo taken. Alice and I did some shopping at Gausia market near New Market and had lunch at “Midnight Sun” a great Chinese/Thai restaurant. Alice had a delightful mixed salad and I had some sweet and sour fish.
Eager to have their photo taken!
YAWN
I was up at 4 AM on the 31st. Had a power outage just as I was going to post this, so I decided to hit the sack and post it this morning.
