A 250 year old church in Belém, Brazil... photo taken on a recent trip.
Caleb at the helm... and happy about it! We went on a recent boat trip and had a great time.
A night shot across the Xingu River... the glow on the water is the reflection from the moon and the glow on the horizon is from the lights of Altamira.
A candid of the worship inside the small church at our recent leadership training weekend.
Caleb at a recent birthday party for a friend... they did the whole face paint thing and the kids had a blast.

This bird was at the water's edge watching for fish... I am not sure if you call it an egret or garca or some other name.
Daniel caught this catfish on a recent outing... he was tremendously excited!
Anna sitting by the window early in the morning... all of our kids are early risers, often with all three up by 6:30 or so.
The morning light of Altamira shines on a boat that had been hauled out of the water for refinishing.
A close up of a Blue Macaw... this is from our vacation when we had the chance to see some animals in the zoo in Belém.
The pink in the background is a carpet of "pine needles" that falls off our jambo trees a couple times a year.
The morning light highlights the color of these flowers... these flowers are kind of special as the bloom only once a year and so many of the flowers here are perpetual bloomers.
This lady carries her dishes about 1/4 mile to a near by creek for washing.
An elderly man I met on my recent trip to Maribel... his eyes real struck me.
Suzanne & I just returned from a five day trip on the river. We had a blast, a great time of fellowship with the pastor's & lots of fish:)
Very common sturcture for out in the bush. The stick and Adobe with thatched roof are all materials that can be found near by in the jungle.
This bashful little girl had a plastic doll she was playing with... I thought the contrast between the doll's skin color and her skin color was interesting:)

Dawn on the river highlights the contrast of this red canoe and the deep blue water.
This tree is located about 10 minutes from my house... an early morning sunrise with alot of the mist that is so common here.
Actually, Fruits & Vegetables... these types of stands are common throughout our part of Brazil.
