Portuguese orange liqueur

I've been having some fun recently shooting traditional Portuguese bottles of wine, liqueur, glasses, making arrangements, etc. This was done with one flashlight, and was just a test... but didn't our old bottles look beautiful?

People, frogs, ducks... part I

For me, a previously European girl and now a world's citizen, Boston is an amazingly beautiful, charming, and special city. As a Portuguese inhabitant, it's not always easy to see the bright side of life - it seems that we are taught to be negative and give it up from the beginning. But no matter what, Americans always succeed in embracing life the way they can and fight. They have stamina, they aren't afraid of taking risks, they're true entrepreneurs in spirit. And Boston has a special magic to it...

Capturing his soul

A rebel horse, who doesn't like to be tamed by these strange beasts who force him to do strange things. Still, he's ridden by a 12 year old ;-)

Human or centaur...

... can you really tell the difference?

Why the long face?

I found this horse lost in his thoughts... with an absent look on his face... but since he is the horse of kings (as the French say, "Balzanes trois, cheval de roi!"), he kept standing there and patiently waiting for his owner.

Good luck riders

With all the polemics around some very polemic Olympic Games, sometimes people tend to forget that the athletes are fulfilling their life's dreams, and that they worked harder than many others to get where they got.
Without politics and without bias, can we remember to wish good luck to the first ever Portuguese Dressage Team? Well done, the world will be watching you :-)

Little cute doggy study

Mirror, mirror on the wall, aren't these the cutest models of all?
