Fields of purple

Most of this excellent photography is by me except for you know...except that one photo of me. 

About Islamabad's wildflowers and typical flora and fauna see this nice 2018 piece in Dawn: With spring come the capital’s wildflowers.

About Me

My photo
Farzana Rasheed
Islamabad , Pakistan
I started this blog during my master's degree (Violence Conflict and Development at SOAS) and, since then it's mostly been about evening walks, meticulously recorded with photography and notes, cooking tales, bringing up my daughter Kavita, everyday travails and headaches, some political commentary and anecdotes.
