A Few of My Favorite Things...Part Deux

Just a few more fav things...


Our van driver sporting one of the balloon halos from our early days here in Colombo. Once I taught the volunteers to make animals and such from the long balloons, we participated in an aggressive campaign of “Drive-by Ballooning” We would stop next to small children, drivers and people crammed on buses; hand them a balloon sculpture and speed away. Thus making the world a better place one balloon at a time…

This was an offering left at the temple in Wellawatta. I thought it was pretty cool to see where coconut trees come from…

Atop every unfinished building, there is a scarecrow type of dummy strung up. Apparently, this keeps the evil spirits away from the structure while it is being built.

Alex very patiently waited and waited, but got a terrific shot of this lizard… it’s so amazing it looks surreal.

Alex also took this one…Got Crabs?
Hanging with the elephants.
