Sunset seen at Galle-face green, Sri Lanka.

Watching the sunset at Galleface green is a very soothing hobby. Queenie V took this photo. You can see the lights on the ships at the entrance to the Colombo harbor.

Asian Paradise Flycatcher, Male and Female, Avissawella, Sri Lanka.

This couple frequents our garden at Avissawella, Sri Lanka. They come to eat the termites building their nest on an earth embankment. I took the following rather blurred video of the female yawning and stretching her limbs like any bored human being. Please click on the web addresses below to see the two separate videos.
