FLOWERING TREE

THIS TIME OF YEAR IS A TIME FOR MANY TREES TO BE FLOWERING IN BANGLADESH.   I’m not sure what the name of this tree is so if anyone can identify it please comment. Thanks

NICE LAVENDER FLOWERS!

I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE BIRD WHOSE CALL I HAD HEARD EVERY TIME VISITING AT THE TEA RESORT NEAR SRI MONGOL.

ASIAN KOEL

COMMON MYNA BIRD

THIS MYNA BIRD WAS EASY TO CAPTURE WITH MY CANON 70-300 LENS.

WHAT'S UP?

THIS TEA ESTATE IS ACROSS THE ROAD FROM THE BANGLADESH TEA BOARD TEA RESORT near Sri Mongol.

Beautiful Tea Gardens in Northeast Bangladesh!

WHEN VISITING SRI MONGOL WITH FRIENDS WE ALWAYS ENJOY TAKING THEM TO THE PLACE THAT SERVES 7-LAYER TEA.

THIS PHOTO WAS TAKEN AT THE TEA RESORT NEAR SRI MONGOL, BANGLADESH.

Rufous-Necked Laughing Thrush!

LIKELY MORE PEOPLE GO THROUGH THIS FARMGATE INTERSECTION IN DHAKA THAN LIVE IN SWEDEN!

BUSY INTERSECTION IN FARMGATE!

Let us dump sadness, jump with happiness,                                         
shun fear and run with courage in heart in this new year.
Happy Pohela Boishakh.
I thought this photo of spices would be great to typify the food and Bengali culture!

HAPPY EASTER!

I PHOTOGRAPHED THIS TIA PAKI (Bangla name) at Block D, Lalmatia, Dhaka!  Different times this bird showed up and I was without my 70-300 Canon IS lens.  I used auto focus and when looking at the photos, I wondered if I would have gotten a sharper image with manual focus! So it goes.  I saw an ad which showed the price of this bird at 5,00o taka (62.50 USD).

A bright orange colored burqa!

CAROL AND IDA ON A MYMENSINGH!  They even looked for an excuse to go for a rickshaw ride just before supper.  Riding rickshaws was their favorite mode of transportation, though they really enjoyed the train. They are leaving for the airport at midnight tonight! 😦

We sure have had a good time of catching up with our good friends.

They love riding on a rickshaw with great views and feeling the breezes, etc.
