Here is a set of pictures that I recently took in Mackinaw City, MI, wrapped up in slide-show format. When I saw the snow melting into heart-shapes and the solitude of this small city going through another long winter, I couldn’t help it. I immediately associated the whole look and feel with one of my favorite songs ever: Corsário, composed by João Bosco and Aldir Blanc and interpreted by Milton Nascimento. What a great combination!
Yep, two “tropical hearts” were there to tie it all together; images, song and feelings. Hope you enjoy it as I do. 
Lake Geneva – What a beautiful place! February 11, 2009

Here is a partial view of Lake Geneva, a beautiful city of Walworth Country, WI, and one of Chicagoans‘ favorite getaways. I took this picture while attending the 14th Annual Winterfest and US National Snow Sculpting Championship last weekend.
Nope, I don’t have any picture of the snow sculptures. Believe it or not, the weather was so great that the majority melted down. I know it was a little bit frustrating for kids, but there were a lot else to do such as horse-drawn carriage rides and even helicopter rides.
Great people and delightful conversations with local sommeliers, who also offered wine tasting and food samplings.

Playing at the playground! April 5, 2008

I have to admit that the idea here is not original: using a tube as a picture-frame. However, I enjoyed playing with my daughter while taking pictures of her at a public playground this morning, in Mackinaw Island. As a typical teenager, she can get easily bored, and being a companion for an amateur photographer like me requires patience (a difficult skill to develop at any age).
However, she is adorable! I love her good sense of humor and her passion for a good laugh. As we say in Brazil, we can loose a friend but we never miss a good joke. Though my daughter is a typical American girl, the genes do not lie. She loves making fun of me!
You can also take a look at the series of photos I’ve put together in a slide show available on my Flickr page.
