The Year of the Mask Continues

Well, 2020 brought us the Mask and it continues into 2021. My guess is its here to stay so get a nice one that maybe reflects your personality 

First it's The Mask of Beast next The Mark of the Beast

Even the Little Ones are Forced into it

Three Sibling Forced into it

Even Grandma

First it a face mask everyone has to wear. Next it will be a chip or Mark everyone will have to take in order to buy sell or trade. Revelation 13: 16-18

¹⁶ And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

¹⁷ And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

¹⁸ Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Time to do the Laundry

This Little Guy is amazing to say the lest. He's always ready to lend a helping hand and he is very curious like a lot of little boys his age. As a result he's alway falling off of something or running into things as you can on his face. Never a dull moment with Little Washington. I pray for him and his family that all will go well in his life and that God will protect him as he grows up and that he will become all that God wants him to be. Be blessed my little friend.

Walking Tour

I think there's a Business Opportunity Here

Beware of Quick Sand

While walking around the bustling metropolis the town of Soure, in Ilha Marajo, Brazil, I came across this old abandon building and wonder what the history of it might be. Why would a building on prime property be abandon? I could only image. Lots of scenarios went through my head. But for now it'll be a mystery until I return to Soure. So, as I continued my walking tour I came across this boat and decided to move in closer for some better photos. Big mistake. As started walking across the muddy path along the river I started sinking and I mean sinking fast. I though I was in quick sand and was wondering how to get out of this mess. The faster I tried to move with each step the deeper I sank. Finally after several minutes of struggling in the the sinking mud I managed to escape with camera in hand and totally forgot about the close up photos of the boat.

You Don't See this Everyday

Typical Wooden Home that comes with a Pig Feeding that you'll see on Ilha Marajo, Brazil

Well,  I must admit, while walking along the mostly dirt streets of the town of Soure, on Ilha Marajo, Brazil, I came across a Horse with her young colt feeding on the front lawn of a house. I try to pet the colt but she would have nothing to do with me. And further down the road by the river I came across this School Bus Boat. First one I've ever seen.
