Humor me.
It's "3 sleeps to Rio," but mashing it up with "3 sheets to the wind" makes me laugh. I'm not staggering (yet), but may be getting a little punch-drunk!
The extended forecast in Rio, for as far as I can see, is for temps in the 80s (F) and scattered or PM thunderstorms every single day! I was bummed about that for a bit, but the partial sun peeking out from behind the clouds and raindrops made me feel a little better, and I also realized that it also means dramatic weather. I do so love dramatic weather!
Dramatic weather in the mid-Atlantic rainforest? I'll try it!
Annie sent me this morning's photo of the boys in the pool, above, and said that the forecast for today was also rain; it was over by 9 a.m., though, and had been mostly sunny since!
I know the weather can change in an instant, and I'm counting on a little bit of everything — and trying to prepare.
Meanwhile, after last week's "January thaw," the temp plunged over the weekend and it was cold outside!
I had an outdoor photo shoot tentatively scheduled for Saturday afternoon. It was iffy in the morning, but was better by afternoon and it was a "go." The young woman has been Ali's BFF since high school and she works part-time at the coffee shop. I've taken photos of her family a few times over the past couple of years. Her boyfriend called me to schedule a couple's session – at least that's what he told her – for her birthday. In reality, he was going to propose and I was in on it (and in possession of a HUGE secret)!
I don't think I have to tell you that she said YES!
Or that they're both ridiculously happy.
And also adorable.
LOVE! Ain't it grand?
Love is the best, no doubt about it! š
The cuteness is overwhelming!
Such a darling couple. You capture moments in time perfectly!! Which is why I’m excited about your trip. I know you’ll show me RIO! Count me as ridiculously envious!
That is a fantastic photo! And lucky you to be part of that moment in their lives! That’s a clever young man right there.
Try Two Tickets to Paradise!
I can’t wait to see Brazil through your lens!
That is one happy couple.
I think part of tropical weather is the daily thunderstorm. No problem, mon!
That photo of the just-engaged couple is a DELIGHT! lucky you to get to share in it…and lucky them to have the photo(s).
Enjoy your time in Rio…and try to get some sleep before you go. I have a feeling you won’t get much while you’re there!
well, if you think about it… rainforest… thunderstorms. Kinda go together, right? š It’s like Miami- every afternoon, the skies open, the rain falls, everyone waits… it stops and the sun comes out. Have a GREAT time.
The picture screams “happy”.
I could use a bit of that pool and heat today. Have a great time! (Of course you will.)
What a sweet way to propose.
