This is my 1800th post, so I decided to give a tribute to my wonderful wife, who has been a faithful supporter of my photography hobby. In fact since I had pulled out my life savings ($55 USD), when we got married in 1969, I couldn’t afford the camera I wanted so she paid for it!! It was a Mamiya/Sekor SLR! She had been working for a year and had some income, so I married “into money!” 🙂 It hasn’t been the last time she has bought me equipment. Thanks, Darling for hanging in there with me!!
No, I didn’t buy these beautiful roses! They were on the table at the Restaurant in Siliguri where we had a snack before catching the bus for our journey back to Bangladesh.
Thanks heaps to my wonderful wife of almost 45 years!

Thank you very much. You are the only one who made a note of this on my blog comments, or on the link posted on Facebook! I told my wife everyone was so excited about the tribute to her, they missed the fact it was my 1800th post! I had procrastinated for maybe a week, trying to decide what post would be appropriate to celebrate with!! tc

This happens to me a lot of times. 🙂 I have a reason to blog about something and combine it with an other message and the original idea is then drowned. More or less. 🙂
Anyway, you are both great and wonderful, congratulations to both of you! What would the one be without the other …:-)
Love, Dina

Reblogged this on Marland Photography and commented:
September 18, 1966, 48 years ago I met my good friend and wife!! I wasn’t sure where to go with this blog, so I thought re-blogging this one should work. If you want to hear a song, whose lyrics are very similar to our story, Google: “I heard a Bluebird Sing” and listen to it on U-tube! A very special day in my life! a 48 year friendship!
