One of a herd of Buffaloes at Malabe

Buffaloes have been the beasts of burden in South Asia for millenia. They are still used very profitably in Sri Lanka. I took this picture of the head of one of them in the outskirts of Colombo, at Malabe.

Cricket match

An inter-school cricket match between two girls' cricket teams at the Janadipathy Vidyalaya, Avissawella, Sri Lanka. Cricket is very popular in Sri Lanka now.

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.
