All for the sake of love

Florentino Ariza was so befuddled that he was unaware of the state of the world and a military patrol surprised him one dawn as he disturbed the chastity of the dead with his amorous provocations .By some miracle he escaped summary execution after he was accused as a spy who sent messages in the key of G to the liberal ships marauding in the nearby waters.
"What the hell do you mean a spy"said Florentino Ariza."I am nothing but a poor lover."
For three nights he slept with irons around his ankles in the cells of the local garrison.By when he was released he felt defrauded by the brevity of his captivity and even in the days of his old age when so many other wars were confused in his memory he still thought he was the only man in the city and perhaps in the country who had dragegd five pounds of irons for the sake of love.

The snake rescue

Today morning a large rat snake got coiled in n mesh an d was resced by a few animal /snake lovers .We were not in a position to document the spectacle but here are a few snaps of the spectacle.In the end we were successful but the ferocity of the dart precluded a focused concerted activity of the camera and the human brain and hence the fine moments were lost to posterity
