The Favela was photographed on a recent trip to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, was an amazing journey to someplace I probably would have never traveled had my husband's company not traveled there. Although we were warned to not drag big cameras around, I managed to use my camera one day. I used my cell phone the remainder of the trip. The weather wasn't accommodating, but isn't that always the way it goes when there is no time and only one opportunity to photograph something?!

This mountainside cityscape is typical for the area. Colorful housing, stacked tightly together ups the mountain. This is what is called a favela. They are neighborhoods teaming with activity. They are colorful and interesting. It is a simple way of life with very little in the way of worldly goods.The Brazilian people seem happy and are very friendly. It was truly an experience to visit this country.

My memories begin as a five-year-old-free-spirit discovering and creating anything 'beautiful.' I was bold, creative, curious, and loved adventure. It stands to reason that when I spray painted the neighbor's black hearse a sparkling shade of silver that I was destined to be an artist. Now that I'm in my 7th decade, my free spirit has settled down a bit (the hearse owner would be glad). Still, curiosity, creativity, and an eye for beauty define me. Lots of things inspire me in my art. I love traveling, and have been afforded the opportunity to see wonderful places all over the world. I then share our travel destinations with others so they can experience the beauty out there too. Another passion of mine is ornamental gardening. Flowers...
