Flowers of many colours are out before winter arrives. Gerbera daisies bloom in the garden of the Ave Maria church at Tarash in Sirajganj. Prothom Alo's daily Glimpse feature captures the country on 11 November in ten pictures by its photographers, among them Sajedul Alam, Supriyo Chakma and Sadiq Mridha.
At the Balukhali Horticulture Centre in Rangamati, ridge gourd flowers have opened on vines in the bushes along Kaptai Lake. At Brahmantila a group of fishers heads out onto the lake in a dinghy with their nets. At Balikhala in Karimganj, Kishoreganj, two men were fishing from a dinghy at dusk on 10 November.
In Daudkandi, Cumilla, farmers are drying paddy in the field and filling sacks; the caption says a bumper yield has put smiles on their faces. On the Khulna City bypass road, a retailer carries sugarcane bought at the wholesale market on a van.
At Rajabari in Sreepur, Gazipur, a fish eagle perches on a power line beside a beel. At Bagmara in Khulna, yellow-orange canna flowers stand out against the green.
There are pictures of village hardship too. At Chhonpacha in Faridpur, with no good pond nearby, two housewives walk home along the field ridges with pitchers of cooking water fetched from far away. At Bahirdia, clay rings are being carried to build a sanitary latrine.
