So the bug had a bite and the wheels are now in motion. Well, kinda. We haven't quite reached discussion of the who/what/where yet but at least it's on the agenda for a good chunk of time next year. As long as the camera's in one hand, and my husband in the other, I'm ready already! In the meantime, a few images that bring back a truckload of memories. I can't believe this was almost 2 years ago...
Floating Islands, Lake Titicaca
The amazing Iguassu Falls
Marketplace in Sucre, Bolivia
Jesus loves the little children...
All the children of the world...
Red or yellow...
Black or white...
They're all precious in His sight...
Jesus loves the little children of the world.
I wonder how these kids are doing. The crops in Presto have been bad due to unfavourable rains this season and they have only enough to feed themselves. They're also trying to build the walls of their first church with mud-bricks that must each be shaped and set and moulded by hand. Their first attempts were also ruined by the rains and though weary, they persevere with what they have. Pray that they may be encouraged, and remain faithful to the one true God who loves them more than the human mind can comprehend.
Last Friday's cold-and-rainy was brought to life by this vibrant couple, celebrating their engagement with the neverfail combo of great food, friends and family. Pavina & Stephen, thanks so much for asking me to photograph this joyous occassion, hope you kept the party going to the wee hours of the morning!
This was one of their engagement presents, a beautiful cake knife engraved with all the important information...
Sweeties!
Wowies!
This was a first, scotch on a plate!
His speech included this line: "I was wondering why it was so dark in here....until I realised all of the stars were plucked out of teh sky to be here tonight." Oh, and he was talking about all the lovely guests, and not the fairy lights in the background!
Pavina's parents having a chuckle with the MC for the evening...
The groom-to-be (hmm, that phrase doesn't get used all to often does it??)
I think someone yelled out something about having kids at this stage, their expressions make me laugh!
Pavina getting her groove on!
Congratulations once again guys, and happy wedding planning!!
Machu Picchu "The Lost City of the Incas" - Cusco, Peru (2006)
Had a most exhilarating afternoon yesterday which I originally thought I wouldn't blog about simply because without pictures, I wouldn't be able to do the experience justice. I since managed to figure out how to bluetooth the goodies from my phone onto the computer so here we are. Yesterday's "secret" team building exercise ended up being the Best Fun Ever. I'm not sure if many of you have heard about this before (I certainly hadn't), but we had an afternoon of circus activities - tightrope walking, juggling, trampolining, and the best part - trapeze flying!
Here's a link to the troupe if you're interested in trying it out - Circus Arts Trapeze School!
The last thing we tried was a 'catch', involving a very carefully timed jump, monkey bar hang, and monkey-grip grab by both you and a trained trapeze artist hanging from another bar. Managed to catch this with my trusty little camera phone...
Unfortunately, that's not me. I was trying so hard to time everything perfectly my mind flipped out and and I forgot to let go of the bar! Boo!! Here is me failing my attempt, and here is how it's meant to be done....enjoy!
