Cachoeira da Serra Azul-The Blue Sierra Waterfall

Cachoeira da Serra Azul-Bom Jardim, Matto Grosso, Brazil 

Downstream from the Waterfall

There are no shortages of beautiful waterfalls in Brazil, like this one here near Bom Jardim, in Matto Grosso. And one thing they all have in common beside their the Beauty and Majesty is they provide a great place to reflex on just how awesome God is. Beauty like this is definitely the handy work of a loving Creator. As Romans 1vs19-20 puts it... For the truth about God is known to them instinctively. From the time the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky and all that God made. They can clearly see his invisible qualities---his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse whatsoever for not knowing God.  Enough said,  Amen!!

Curious Toucan Staring back at me

Grumpy Rhino

Beautiful White Bengal Tiger. I love kids there Delicious!! 

Yes, exotic animals are fun to look at and admire. They are a reminder to me of the handy work of God. His creation stands as evidence of a loving Creator who is the God of diversity by creating more than one kind of species.  Some of these animals will look back in curiosity and some will just ignore you while they wait for their next meal. Take the elephant at the top he seemed very happy to have people admiring him and from time to time would put on a little show for everyone shaking his head and rolling his trunk in and out. The Toucan, also seemed quiet happy to have visitors and he was trying to get a closer look at me. The rhinoceros never move a muscle and seem to be in a bad mood. But all rhinos are in a bad mood aren't they? And last, The White Bengal Tiger. Stunningly beautiful and equally as graceful as this huge cat would strut around showing off his beauty for all to see.

Well, today is Thanksgiving in the US. A time when families get together to eat to much food and a chances for liberal's to get all bent out shape. Anyways, this is one beautiful Brazilian family that I had to privileged to photograph the other day. What I was most impressed with is that although very poor they where also very happy, well behaved and welcomed me with open arms. May God bless them and watch over them everyday.

Digital TV Tower & Rainbow

Digital TV Tower-Brasilia

Somewhere Under the Rainbow

The other day  I wanted to go to the famous Digital TV Tower in Brasilia, (not tbe mistaken for the Torre de TV Tower) to see what kind of images I could get from that vantage point. Well, the line to go up was very long and I was told that they had already close the line for the day and no more people could go up.  So, I had to settle for a few shoots of the tower and this this beautiful rainbow that appeared. I love rainbows it always remind me of the power of God, and the beauty of this nature.
