photo: mango picking
Do you see her? That's one of the mango trees at my neighbor's home, the one I can see from my living room sofa! I spotted her one morning plucking mangoes with this rod that had a mesh bag and some sort of hook at the end to break the mango stems. I like how she almost merges into the leaves of the tree itself. This shot was taken sometime in late July. There still are some mangoes on this tree, but no one seems to be coming to the roof to pick them anymore.
On a different note, I went through my Blogger settings this afternoon and switched to the updated settings for posting. I like that one can re-size the pics after they are loaded and move them around by just dragging them, but I certainly do not like that while the pics are being uploaded you cannot use the post page. I always write my posts while the photos are being uploaded, so that's a definite waste of time for me to have to do them separately. Will try it out for a while and see if I want to stick with it or switch back.

It sounds perfectly lovely. xo
I dont know what blogger setting you've changed... as I'm the least tech savvy person...
I've tried Windows Live Writer and thats fab... it allows you change size / shadow your pics, upload videos... use different fonts.. etc.. etc.. Its nice!
I made the change in Blogger Settings. It's under the tab called Basic and is right at the bottom...just a click to select what type of post editor you want to use.
the fact that others are enjoying mangoes in my parents garden whileI'm in rainy London.
Shuma, lol, so sorry about that!
I found you a while ago and have been enjoying reading your blog!
Lakshmi, How cool! I can't really remember ever plucking mangoes off a tree...plucked lots of apricots, plums, peaches and apples off trees, but no mangoes!
