Weekly Photo Challenge: Foreign

At first I was a little confused with this week’s challenge-Foreign- since I am Brazilian, and have been living in the U.S.for over ten years now. What is home and what is foreign to me are somewhat mixed up, and it is difficult to compartmentalize.

So, I choose to share a photo of a fisherman I took at Ilha do Mel, Parana, Brazil. This is a place near and dear to my heart, which I have been visiting ever since I was a child. It is an island that can only be accessed by boat, and no cars are allowed. Fresh seafood, sun, and beautiful beaches… Paradise frozen in time

I took this photo at my grandparent’s farm in Brazil. The round object on top of the eletricity pole is a bird’s nest. The Joao-de-barro bird (furnarius rufus) makes his round nest out of mud. Nature never ceases to amaze me. Just perfect.
