From the title if you thought that this would be the photo of a guy in a lilac coloured shirt on a motor bike, then you were mistaken :) The Lilac-breasted Roller is found in Africa and the southern Arabian Peninsula. I had posted a side view of him and this is the front view where he is staring at you/me.

That sure is a colorful bird, Raj. I like this view of him giving you the evil eye. Very nicely done.

Cameras are like people--sometimes they lose focus.

Raj - It is unusual to see so many pastel colors on one bird. Beautifully captured. Thad

Raj, when I saw only the title in my friends-list I already knew that you wouldn't post a photo of a guy in a lilac coloured shirt on a motor bike, but I didn't have any idea as well what you had captured.
The result has surprised me and gave a smile on my face.
Lovely post, my friend.
Regards, Cornelius.
