Hanging parrot eating a 'Jambu' fruit, Avissawella, Sri Lanka.

I took this picture in our home garden. You can see a 'Hanging parrot' nibbling at a 'Jambu' - Rose apple - fruit. You can see a honey bee - most probably from the bee-hive we have a few feet away - sampling the juice from the 'Jambu'.

A country stream for a picnic-bath, Thummodara, Sri Lanka.

A river piucnic and river bath is a fairly regular item in the life of the average Sri Lankan. Many beautiful and safe places abound in Sri Lanka. This is one of them on the Avissawella - Thummodara road.
