SUNDAY POST : Focused Attention
Sri Lanka
Some very focused attention from my recent visit to Sri Lanka.
I splurged on a new camera before the trip (the Nikon D5100) and I had the most perfect opportunity(s) to practice with it during my extraordinary foray.
I truly could not remember beer ever tasting so good.
Uhm, and I couldn’t seem to get enough.
This post is in response to Jake’s Sunday Post: Focused Attention
tahira's shenanigans 
Hey – was wondering how your holiday was getting on! No wonder you didn’t get in touch – all that idyllic lounging around on the beach with a beer, and climbing Sri Pada (congratulations!). Great entry 🙂
Meredith, I truly did intend to get in touch, but then, yeah, after the trek from Mirissa to Sri Pada that took so much out of me that afterward all I could really do was lounge around and recover. And getting around Sri Lanka is not an easy feat, hah. But, nevertheless, I had THE MOST MAGNIFICENT time – it truly was one of my MOST memorable trips ever that I am already planning to come back!! And next time for longer so I can then hopefully make time for a Colombo jaunt.
And thanks on the congratulations – it was magical!
Looking forward to the post – sadly I’ve never made it, for one reason or another and I know I won’t be fit enough to tackle it before I go in April/May, so my trek up the sacred mountain will have to wait till a return visit of my own!
Soooo glad you had a terrific time – sounds as though you did just what you needed to do – have a real break from the world you’re in just now.
Yes, I know getting around can be challenging – was it Catbird I told this to and not you? – but then again, you’re young and can climb mountains, so getting there must have been part of the adventure!
There seems to be a common theme in all your pictures LOL
LOL. Uhm. Yeah.
I see summer and i miss it sooooooo much!!!
Cheers indeed!
you simply cant beat a cold one – especially in the sun
Cold beer, sand and sunshine. Definitely focused. Looking forward to more on Sri Lanka.
Nice to see ditto in all the pictures ,Beer on the beach.,make every thing taste better.jalal
A tribute to the beer … Beautiful shots … 😉
Oh. I love beer!
Focused attention, indeed!! 😀
Great take for this week topic Tahira ,Thanks for posting my friend 🙂
I have camera envy — I really must find a way to upgrade my point-and-shoot this year! 🙂 Great photos! ~ Kat
Now I’m thirsty AND I want to go to Sri Lanka…:)
An excellent series! So many different moods, but I love the focus!
Oh, stop it. You’re making me thirsty! Nothing quite like a beer on a warm day. Glad you’re having fun. Nice to see you taking that new camera for a spin…. (maybe even literally?) 😉
I am focused on that beer and now I want one. Great shots.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
So funny! I guess what you’re saying is, you don”t mind the odd drop of beer… Off to look at that peak now. (still playing catch up, and it’s my daughter’s wedding day today. Too excited to squeak!)
Haha! Don’t mind it at all, Jo. I totally understand about playing “catch up” — I’m in the midst of that as well. I hate feeling like I’m “missing out” so I want to check out & check up on ALL my favorite blogs and at the same time I have so much I want to post and also trying to keep up with all the positive, encouraging comments & likes….and …well…. YOU obviously know exactly what I mean!
Congratulations to you & to your daughter! Have a wonderful day, all of you! Xx
Nice focused attention:-)
