HAPPY 59TH BIRTHDAY to my brother, Warren, living in Mesa, Arizona.

This photo is of some of the players I play football with 2-5 mornings a week at 6:45 am.  This is the second place trophy, since we lost the final game of the tournament 2-0.

Day 21

FAISAL, A FELLOW-TTLer trying to get a good shot of the tea estate worker near Moulovibazar, Bangladesh.

Day 14

AMADER KAJER LOKER PORIBAR!  Oops, I better translate.  This is our house-helper and her family.  (L to R)  Shaheen’s son, Sultan, Shaheen (our house-helper), her daughter, Pinky (Sultana), and Shaheen’s Mother

They are standing in the doorway of Shaheen’s one-room dwelling in one of the many Bihari camps in Dhaka.  Sultan was dressed up to celebrate the festival, Muharram. The festival commemorates the martyrdom of the prophet Mohammed’s grandson- Hazrat Imam Hussein.

Day 345

SHARMIN  wondering what the elephant will do next!  I of course couldn’t tell these girls apart.  They were a part of the photo club I went to Moulovibazar with to photograph, tea gardens,  birds at a haor, and waterfall.  It was too late in the season and the waterfalls was barely a trickle so didn’t go see it.  Also it was too early to see the Winter birds at the haor, but all in all it was a good trip.  I hope to join them for a trip to another haor in Northeastern Bangladesh in February, when many Winter birds will be residing.

BEAUTIFULLY DRESSED little Bengali girl looking upward!
