so many nationalities lying here......... amazing how a quite inhospitable place like Tete always draws so many different "kinds". A few months ago we were at 57 !!

we decided to visit the cemetery on the banks of the Zambezi. Could have spent a full day there, looking into the history of so many that have walked the hot, dustry roads of Tete. I wish the ground could have talked.

part of gorgeous metal work on the front of a cross........surprised it is still there.........

caught!! We take our work "really seriously" in Tete, Mozambique........ :)

I love how this twisted tree trunk has been used to make a dug out. "In the Masters hands, it's not only the straight and perfect that makes worthy vessles"........

What we have once enjoyed we can never lose... All that we love deeply becomes a part of us. -Helen Keller .......Thinking today of a dear friends tragic loss. May He be your strength.

I just LOVE the colours and shapes in a fishing box. I just couldn't resist snapping this very tidy one sitting on the banks of the Zambezi....

it's another gorgeous day in Tete..........blessings abound

Be thankful for the moment you hold in your hands, and hopeful for the ones that will come again tomorrow...........

a very necessary "tool" (grain stamper) in every village in the region........

May your weekend be filled with more hellos than goodbyes, more sweet than bitter, and more celebration than grief. (Emily, chatting at the sky)

an old shot with a new twist........ On the banks of the Zambezi

both shadows and light are needed to create the best composition - much like life........

if only this gorgeous old tree root wasnt miles away into the bush (found on one of my many walks, exploring), as it would certainly make an amazing feature in my garden............

I have been away from the camera and internet for a few days, so have nothing to share with you all apart from an "oil on canvas" I completed a few days ago. This is a commission for a special friend, who has the "colours of Africa" running through her veins......

COLOURS OF AFRICA

He who turns dawn to darkness......... The Lord God is His name........

lets not overlook the "ordinary"........all can look "extraordinary " in the "right light".......
