   Beautiful pictures, Paulo! :-)
   I am glad that you and your beautiful wife, Christina went for a walk in the middle of loving Mother Nature leaving everything behind and just enjoying the smell of green grass, trees, flowers caressed by the fulfilling atmosphere of a nice summer day. Life can be so amazingly simple sometimes and yet so comforting…
   My favourite pictures are represented by the window site, like a black tunnel and its luminous view which seems to bring so much hope, meaning that after a period of darkness, light always comes as it is there, waiting to be discovered and the second picture is the one with the rays of Sun, forming a fascinating halo through the branches of the tree (of life). You can see delicate threads of light, like in a fine, precious material woven by divine hands out of love for everyone who cherishes them and wants to use them to go to Heaven.
   Speaking of being in the middle of nature, you should try living without the wrist watch at least for your day to let your body free of the stress caused by the flowing of time. You’ll feel like a child, beyond time and space boundaries. And another thing you should try, I don’t know if you have ever experimented that, is to sit down on the ground, in the lotus position, or just laid down, barefoot, with your hands put on the ground, eyes closed, no thoughts, no problems, just feel the energy of Mother Earth. When you are relaxed and feel thankful for everything that you were given, realizing that you are a living part of the Universe, you’ll feel the Earth vibrate under your palms, a sensation of electrical power and you become one with the ground, the sky, the light, everything. You are in everything and everything is in you. It is one of the greatest sensations I have ever felt in my life as then you feel totally complete and desireless.
   You should all try it sometimes because it makes life worth living and it also reminds us why we are here by bringing love into our hearts!

   Lots of love and appreciation,
   Carmen Larisa

   P.S You love details so much! In all the pictures there is a feeling that every single detail matters and not only that, it brings life to every instant captured in your soul; it is like painting the picture, not just immortalizing it on a film. Great! :-)

   I don’t much like to walk in town, where I live, but after this jaunt which was first thing this morning, the signs led me down the street to the grocer and the post-office. The lady there gave me an odd, or knowing smile, was very helpful, etc,
   Then I come home, have a drink of orange, followed by a cup of home-made tea, and wander up and down the garden, listening to the joy of children playing and the signs say, I will get plenty laundry dried this week. - But maybe not much painting done.
   LOVE to all
