Little Cutie

Renata

A portrait from a photo shoot I did the other day. This little cutie Renata, was so shy the first day I met her that we did some test shots. By the second day she had warmed up to me and we had great time working on different poses and she turn out to be a great little model.

Enjoying God's Creation

River that runs through Itiquira Falls

Beauty in Motion

I enjoy nature and the handy work of Father God who sets all things in motion. Notice I said Father God, and not mother nature the pagan goddess, that's because there is no mother nature who created anything.

Christ (who is God) is the visible image of the invisible God. He existed before God made anything at all and is supreme over all creation. Christ is the one through whom God created everything in heaven and earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can't see--kings, kingdoms,rulers and authorities . Everything has been created through him and for him. He existed before everything else began, and he holds all creation together.   Colossians 1: 15-17

And that my friends settles it!!

Beautiful Falls

Itiquira Falls

Another smaller waterfall while walking along the tranquil path at Itiquira Falls outside of Brasilia, Brazil. I basically had the place to myself which made it easier to photograph, and because there was no one in my way I could take my time, seeing how some of theses exposures took as much as 8 seconds to capture

Little Waterfall

Itiquira Falls

One of the smaller waterfalls you'll see at Itiquira Falls outside of Brasilia, Brazil. On my first walk through of the park the sun was shining down on this area and I wasn't able to capture the photo I was looking for. Came back about an hour later and this place was now in the shade allowing me to use a slower shutter speed to be able to make this image. This is a beautiful and tranquil place to spend the day

Shuyana

Shuyana, playing her guitar

Waiting outside the Church

I have been very impress with the young people that I have met while living in South America, and this young lady Shuyana, is no exception. She is very talented loves the Lord, plays many musical instruments, is good with kids and has the heart of a servant.  She was my interpreter, when I taught drum lessons at the Allegro school of Music in Quito, Ecuador.  She, along with her parents and two sister attend the Iglesia La Viña where they are all active member  severing the Lord enthusiastically. I've said it before in other post it's the youth that is the future and the only thing that can change the world is the Gospel of Jesus Christ!!

Museo Mitad Del Mundo

Tour Guide Ana with Giant Baby Spider

Shrunken Head

These are just some of the interesting things you'll see at the Museum at the Middle of the World or Museo Mitad Del Mundo. A giant baby spider and a shrunken head of a  twelve year old child. There was another head that was brought out but I was not allowed to photograph it not sure way. The tour was interesting none the less although I was told the price has gone up in the last few years from $.25 cents to $4.00 dollars. So if you plan a trip there save up for the entry fee.

Countryside

Near the Puluahua Crater

I Think Someone Lives There?

The beautiful countryside outside of Quito, Ecuador, also near the Pululahua Crater, which is also near the Mitad del Mundo or Middle of the World. Clouds are always rolling in and out constantly changing the look of the landscape.
