The Day that wasn’t

MIRA version

HOVER

All my years of being a river rat these grand birds have always been good for my heart. A close encounter is a wonder of nature. A Native American vibe that the industrial revolution hasn’t squashed yet. Last years picture (below) has been my favorite to date.

This is the part you can see that gets washed down river (Xc%(*y$e(wy!!!!!!!!!!).

Carnaval 2012

We picked up some Peruvian chicken at a local market last evening, a pen, the local Latino newspaper, etc. The chicken got two big thumbs up from us!

DANCER : Raíssa Miúre , Vila Isabel samba school
I had the photographers name that I did these graphic edits to his beautiful photo? These news photos come and go so fast. As a side note these samba queens all appear to be body builders along with being great dancers and the parade floats are beyond all others.

Took two pictures above while getting lunch.

My favorite photo online of our American version.

Quatro Na Bossa

I can’t say enough goods things about this group and am sorry I didn’t get better footage, it’s always a challenge with moving souls in low light. The background noise is heartbreaking, but people enjoying isn’t. My wife REALLY loves this vibe!

Dragon Roll

Our local KROGER has almost finished its superstore. One of my favorite additions is the sushi island. These two beautiful chefs made me a dragon roll this morning. My neighbors Japanese Cherry trees hung through the front last night.

GRAVE DIGGER

I had to replace a headlight in my wife’s car and as an added bonus got to photograph GRAVE DIGGER.

Met an informative young man, one of the drivers, who I told my old story of decades ago I had an encounter with Big Foot driving on a downtown street after leaving a bar one weekend, a wild image that has been burnt into my memory (true story).

Dusk at Dog Town Theater

A very unique Mardi Gras parade and celebration on Fat Tuesday.

I noticed these four women, Alicia Ayoub, Elli Morris, Lily Lamberta and Khalima, that I’m sure worked hard with many others on this. GREAT TIME!
