ON THE PADMA
Last weekend we spent in Joypara. We took this boat across the Padma River in Southern Bangladesh to an Island. We played football, waded, and I took some photos of some birds. After several hours we took the boat to see the mansion of a former Minister of the previous government, and then headed back to the shore near a bus stand. This photo is of me with Kamal, our host and the boatman.
SUBHO NOBOBORSHO!
Happy Bengali New Year. My wife, Alice wearing red, a tradition for this holiday here in Bangladesh.
INDEPENDENCE DAY!!!!!
A special day for a special country and special people! My friends took this photo when we returned from watching a cricket match between South Africa and Bangladesh.
GROUNDHOG DAY
We don’t have Punxsutawney Phil but we do have butterflies. Looking at the calendar we have 13 more days of Winter in Bangladesh. This butterfly was photographed in Sri Mongol in June. Since this day is about shadows I thought this shadow would be great to feature.
Groundhog Day is an annual holiday celebrated on February 2nd in the United States and Canada on which if a groundhog emerges from its burrow and fails to see its shadow because the weather is cloudy, winter will soon end. If on the other hand, it is sunny and the groundhog sees its shadow, the groundhog will supposedly retreat into its burrow, and winter will continue for six more weeks.
Can this butterfly see its shadow?
