We’ve been busy with our 45th wedding anniversary, U.S. Flag Day, beginning of the Soccer World Cup, giving visitors a tour of Dhaka, and Mymensingh, and Father’s Day! I decided I need to get on my blog and for sure wish my wife, “A very Happy Birthday! Now she is “older” than I am. For two months I will be glad to do whatever she wants me to!!! 🙂
Here she is the “Pied Piper” in the Bailor Village near Mymensingh!
I decided to re-post this photo from 2010, to show what the Kanchenjunga mountain (World’s 3rd highest) looks like on a clear day, since during our recent visit the mountain could barely be seen through the clouds. This photo is from January 2010.
On the walking path past the Chowrasta in Darjeeling, I had taken a photo of these gentleman. Later we met them at Keventer’s Restaurant.
My dear wife being very patient while I was doing Bird Photography, and many times pointed out birds that I hadn’t seen yet!
Red–billed Leiothrix- Peking Robin-Nightingale- Babbler family-This was one of the birds that sat still long enough for me to get a photograph. I was using a Canon EF 7-300mm zoom lens. It was shot at ISO 1250/150mm/f 5.6 and 1/400th of a second. If I haven’t identified this bird correctly please let me know!
Corn-on-the-Cob is a part of what makes Darjeeling, Darjeeling!
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!
