Chapada Veadeiros

Salto do Rio Preto in Chapada Veadeiros 

 With everything going on in the World today it was nice to take a brake and enjoy Gods creation and remind myself that he is in control.

As the Sunsets in Ilha Marajo

Early Evening on a Lonely Trial as the Sun Begins to Set

I guess you could call it an Amazonian Sunset

What a great way to finish a leisurely walk through the Amazon Region of Brazil, than to watch the sunset slowly in this peaceful part of the world. I personally enjoy being out in nature and Brazil, has a lot to offer when it come to nature or as I like to call the "The Handy Work of God." I've only scratched the surface and hope to Lord willing document some more of it.

Marajo Island

Water Buffalo Taking a Quick Dip 

Marajo Island or Ilha Marajo, an Island in the Northern Region of the Amazon in the State of Para, Brazil, is a delightful little place to take a few days off and relax and enjoy the slow pace of life that this place has to offer along with the wild life.

Salto do Tororó

Amazing Waterfall at Salto do Tororó, outside of Brasilia, Brazil

Beautiful and Peaceful is the best way to describe this place. I love venturing out in nature or as I like to say, I love looking at the handy work of God. Nature in all its glory is like the fingerprint of God, proof positive so no one will an excuse of his existence. Its the fool that says in his heart there is no God. So, don't be foolish. Trust God in all you do.

Meu Pequeno Papagaio-My Little Parrot

Yes, I know I'm Pretty

This is actually a Selfie I took of me and my new little friend

Your's truly with my new little friend Renaldo, the Parrot. He looks like a cross between a blue fronted and yellow front Amazon Parrot and he's very friendly. So friendly that he would not let me put him down so I brought him home with me where he is now very happy. Well, I guess I need to go buy some Brazil nuts to feed him. He also like Mangoes. Good thing cuz that's all there is to eat here right now.

I just Love Mangoes

Moon Rise over the Savannas

Moon Rise over Lake Paranoa, Brasilia, Brazil

There is noting more beautiful than watching the moon rise up over the hills. In this case I was a little late getting to my location so the moon appears a little small in the photo. None the less it still was beautiful sight to watch as God and nature puts on a show for all to enjoy.  

Waterfalls

Waterfall near Alto Paraiso, Goias, Brazil 

Yes Brazil, certainly has no shortage  of waterfalls. I'm not sure about this statistic but I would guess it has more waterfalls than any other country. These beautiful and tranquil waterfalls remind me of the handy work of a loving creator. I come across a lot of people who claim to be atheist and yet the Bible clearly states in Romans that God has put his knowledge in their hearts. And in Roman 1:20 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. Now, that's a powerful statement with the all of nature backing it up. You could say nature in all its glory is the Fingerprint of God.

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.

My Little Friend

Capuchin Monkey

Waiting for a Hand Out

While strolling through the Parque Nacional de Brasilia, I came across these curious Capuchin monkeys. Although you are asked not to feed them I believe that by the way they were following me around this is not the case. Also, as the park closes these little guy's can be seen raiding the trash cans around the park having a good time eating what they can find, and from what I understand they'll eat just about anything.

Colorful Foliage

Pink Ipe Tree

No matter what time of the year it is in Brazil, there always seems to be something beautiful in bloom. Take these trees for instant the top one is of an Ipe tree very common here in Brazil, and blooms in several colors such as yellow and I believe red (not sure if the bottom photo is an Ipe Tree).

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
