Cee’s Fun Photo Challenge: Houses
For this challenge I chose a set of colonial houses from Ouro Preto, a former colonial mining town, set on the mountains of the state of Minas Gerais in Brazil. Ouro Preto was a center for gold mining and prosperity in the 18th century, during Brazil’s Golden Ages. Its beautifully preserved Portuguese colonial architecture and quaint cobblestone streets earned it the designation of World Heritage by UNESCO.

Travel Theme: Wild
Nothing like 12 inches of snow to bring these beautiful wild creatures to one’s doorsteps. I guess they smelled food. Some people hate deer because they destroy gardens and carry disease, but I love, love, love them! Something to do with Bambi?

Travel Theme: Sweet
I have a terrible sweet tooth, so the word “sweet” sends me straight to images of the most delicious, decadent desserts. Here are some delicious sweets I could not resist while traveling in Spain and Brazil.
Ice-cream in Cordoba.
Dessert in Sevilla.
All kinds of sweets in Madrid.
Flan in Fortaleza, Brazil.
A Word A Week Challenge: Roof
Rooftops of Lisbon.
I took these photos from the Castelo Sāo Jorge (St. George Castle) in Alfama, Lisbon’s oldest quarter. The mediaeval castle was the royal residence until the early 16th century and today provides extraordinary views of the city and Tagus river.

Weekly Photo Challenge – The Golden Hour
Definitely my favorite time to shoot the ocean and the scenery around it. Here’s a small sample of shots taken in places I often go to in Brazil, where I was born, and in California, where I live.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Companionable
What’s a companion? What is companionship? Here are a few takes on the notion.
My personal companion. My husband of thirty-plus years. The secret of our long marriage is enjoying each other and laughing a lot. This photo says it all.
Legendary companions. These craft dolls represent the Brazilian Northeast folk hero Lampião –who led a long career of large-scale banditry through six states of the Northeast– and his girlfriend, Maria Bonita. The couple was subject of innumerable folk stories, novels, comic books, popular pamphlets, songs, movies, and a number of TV soap operas.
A match made in heaven…
Birds of a feather…
