Dog Day Afternoon

Boomey, enjoying a Dip in the Lake. 

Sadie, I love this Lake!!

Boomey and Sadie, these two are quite a pair together. They both love to run and and swim and never get tired.  And yes, when it's time to leave and come home Sadie, the ringleader, all of a sudden can't hear and heads back into the water with Boomey right behind her. Well, I don't blame them I love it out here too. Seems like there's just never enough time for fun in the sun.     

Just Drums

Bruna, pound out the the rhythm. 

Cristina, giving it all she's got for the local news camera.

Izabell, I think she was the Drum Princess. 

A group of young lady samba drummers showing off their musical skill to prove a point, that all you need is a good beat to make a crowd happy. Well, there's more to it than that but, the drums are the foundation of most music in the world today from Rock to R&B, Latin and Jazz,  you name it there's a beat. After all where does music come from? It's all over the scriptures especially in the book of Psalms. And not only that, drums is among the oldest instrument in the world along with the cymbals and of course the human voice.

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.
