Fall in Islamabad

Created by masterpicker on Sat, 10/22/2011 - 16:27


The Fall and Spring seasons in Islamabad come and go quickly. I want to go out there and capture the Fall colors before they go away but it's rainy and cloudy today here in ISB. So, I'm re-using a photoset here that I took in the Fall of 2009. Wow. It has been two Fall seasons ago. Can't believe it.

As I sit here in Islamabad on a September equinox

I'm counting eleven. Eleven congratulatory emails coming from all parts of the world. I saw them, from the corner of my eyes, pop up on the lower right corner of my screen. The guy must be well-liked, admired, respected to get that many. Bonjour, bonjour monsieur!

Then comes this departure email. Would emails of appreciation and goodbyes start popping up on my Outlook tonight? The guy says he had an amazing experience with the organization. Yes, there's something from his boss. She says to those left behind to be patient in this time of transition...Gracias y Adios, senor!
