Dhaka streets looked colorful yesterday with many ladies dressed in red saris!  Many gift shops had loads of items such as sweetheart mugs, cards, etc. to help people celebrate Valentine’s Day.  I even bought my wife a bouquet of red roses!

YES, I FELL AND CRACKED THE GLASS BAD ON THE UV FILTER OF MY CANON  EF 24-105 1:4 L ZOOM LENS, which was mounted on my Canon 7D camera!  I wasn’t able to tell the difference on this photo, but obviously the filter needed replacement!  Definitely minimal damage for the other options.  Removing filter and replacing it cost me 2,00o tk ($25) at Orient Cameras & Photos in Plaza A.R. on Mirpur Rd.

THIS BANGLADESHI GIRL AT THE BIHARI CAMP IN MOHAMMADPUR DIDN’T MIND HAVING HER PHOTO TAKEN.

Our friends wanted to buy my wife some flowers so this is the arrangement she wanted.  Available on the sidewalks of Dhaka for $1.75!

Thoughtful and Colorful!
