'Play house;, Sellam gey'-S, 'Vilayattu veedu'-T in the garden, Avissawella, Sri Lanka.

This 6 year old wanted a 'play-house' built in the garden of the house. Once it was built by an obliging father, he took his book, to draw inside the play house. The materials for building the play house has changed over the years. In our young days it was coconut fronds. Now it is plastic sheeting.

Storm cloud with a silver lining, Nawalapitya, Sri Lanka.

Every cloud they say, 'has a silver lining'. I took this picture at Nawalapitiya, Sri Lanka, when a mild drizzle of rain was present. In Tamil they have a saying that when you see the sun during a rain, it portends a wedding for a fox. Click on the picture to see the full beauty of the scene..
