Typically this lady will ask me for a small donation.  This hot day her son said he wants a Coke!  I had just bought myself a Diet Pepsi, so I decided it was the day to let him enjoy a Coke!

This is a photo of my wife and son who had to leave the crowded or occupied sidewalk for the street.  I confess that when we go somewhere they will choose to walk, while I take a rickshaw!

These painters hope today somebody will need some painting done!  This is a daily sight at our local market.

These are three of my friends. In the morning they walk around looking for paper and plastic they can sell for recycling. In the afternoon they go to school.  The shy one is hiding behind his bag!

Friends!

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!”

Happy Easter! 100’s of Christians gathered in front of the Bangladesh Parliament Building for the annual Easter Sunrise service!

I’ve seen this bird most mornings at 5:45 on our morning walk around the Parliament building.  It too dark to photograph plus I don’t have my camera with me.  Today I decided to return later in the day.  I waited 10 minutes and gave up and headed home.  I had only taken 30 steps down the sidewalk when I saw this kingfisher swooping down on the water before perching in this tree.  I retreated and got some photos with a 70-300mm canon lens on my  7D camera.
