Happy Birthday Sri Lanka

This is the Bing picture of the day, they are stilt fishermen in Sri Lanka. Apparently it was 38 years ago today that Ceylon changed its name to Sri Lanka and became a republic. Happy Birthday Sri Lanka, you are the same age as me!

My maternal Grandmother was from Sri Lanka which makes me part Sri Lankan too, something I have always been proud of.

    Mum would love this post.

    Hello, I agree, I would get no fish caught for watching the skies!

    Hey Lady Banana! I am afraid I have not. My parents went a couple of years ago and brought us back loads of amazing photos, I would love to go some day.

Apparently Joni is increasing her hours at work and she has decided that with the extra work and the farm to run she won't be able to fit blogging in, at least not to the standard that she wishes to. I completely understand but I am sad that I won't be able to visit her blog anymore. Joni posted everyday and displayed amazing photos of the beautiful and varied wildlife in her part of the world, including her new puppy Cooper!
