To just maintain some level of normalcy in our remaining days here which is actually becoming more chaotic each day, we have found time to take some hours lightly and fun by being more creative.
Fuzzy has finally taken up the camera which is usually Vibrant Bea's default mode and got some shots of a fly catcher perched on the mango tree. This is by the way rarely sighted in Colombo and more common in the dry region of the Central Province. I saw a male flycatcher once in it's rare season of having a graceful long colorful tail in Bundala on our first year of our stay. I never got a chance of capturing it's beautiful flight with my lens.
Here is the best shot. I feel like it is going to be a long time before we get to see our next flycatcher.

And to keep the two busy, we bought some crafts from Pakistani brethren who sought asylum in this country because of religious persecution. The children thought it nice to add glitter in these wall hangers. And it did added some color.

And it made sorting and packing a little bit merrier for us all.
Whew! Movers will come in tomorrow to stash our earthly possessions away in bubble wrap, paper, carton boxes and loads of tape... let us see how it will go. |
