Between a rock and a hard place.

 

Ipanema from Arpoador

Nothing better than Arpoador on a cloudy summer Sunday morning, no need for sunblock. Climbing to the top…Ipanema and Vidigal all in one glance!  When you recover from the view, the natural reaction is to look down and watch where you walk…..and lo and behold!  Life goes on.  It comes out of the cracks in the rocks. The cactus, the flowers, the bees, the honey!  Nothing lies down and surrenders.  “Yes, I am here.  And I am blossoming. Glad you noticed!”  Magical when you’re with someone you can share it with..and back in Copacabana…bloco de rua!  10!
