Two roses

I took these pictures in our garden at Avissawella, yesterday around 5pm after a gentle shower of rain. The sky was cloudy throughout the day and the colours of the flowers have not been scorched by the sun.

? Tickell's blue fly-catcher.

I saw this bird a bit outstanding because of its blue color in the surrounding green foliage. I took this picture on my Fuji Finepix S1500 with a zoom of X12 - hand held shot around 1pm. at Kosgama, Sri Lanka.

View from the bridge at Karawanella.

The view from the bridge at Karawanella, Sri Lanka is a beautiful sight. Elephants are brought by their mahouts to this place at noon to be given a scrub-down and a bath. On a clear day Adam's peak is visible and on a clear night one can get a view of the lights along the pilgrims path to Adam's peak. I took this picture a few days back.

Inside the 'Dalada Maligawa'.
