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!

Here I am again showing photos of a party! Winter in Bangladesh means winter picnics and it must also mean things like jig-saw puzzle parties! Thanks so much for hosting, Akash and Nila! It was a fun evening with a spaghetti supper as well. I arrived at 3 and left at 10 pm. Dustin came around 4 and hung around as long as I did. It looks like Diane gets featured at this party also. This is the nice kind of winter with highs in the 70’s!
After 7 hours with 5-7 people working on this 1,000 piece puzzle!.
Diane does her part!
I saw a reflection of the sun in a window of a nearby hospital so I grabbed my camera and raced for our rooftop (1 flight of stairs). This is the scene I saw.
If you don’t want to miss a shot always have your camera handy to save precious time.

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.
