The crisis in Brazil knocked my weekend into the week, but I’m going to post a picture tonight and get some rest to face the week. I’ll see you tomorrow. [Photo of the sunrise after this week’s snowstorm, by Buddy Poland.]
Stunning photo, Buddy. Thank you, Heather, for sharing it with us. Just beautiful and calming somehow. Get a good rest and come back swinging...metaphorically.
Something about the early light on the Maine coast... Inevitably, I find myself staring at Buddy and Peter's photos for a long time. Always a respite from the madness.
Or maybe the allure is they prod my memory to those magical days of several years in my early childhood on a narrow dead-end street in Nashua, NH. Sledding a forested hill across the street and ice-skating at the bottom of a drop-off behind our house, where a finger of a river tributary petered out. Always with my two brothers, at the time an inseparable trio born 26 months apart.
Beautiful photo - thank you! Please do get some rest. Clearly, there’s a lot of angst about what’s happening in Brazil and how it’s similar/different/connected to the January 6th attempted coup in the US. I look forward to reading your next letter! Take care.
We love seeing the photos but the most important thing is hearing what is happening from someone who "knows" what's going on in this country and the world and can explain it simply. Your posts are the first articles we read in the morning knowing that we don't have to dive deeper to find the truth. You keep us sane. Thank you.
Brazil has me, as an old Brazil hand, in a n unusual place. I expected this from Bolsanaro and was quite sure it would happen. The election of Lula seemed to me to be the path back to democracy, strange as it may sound. Lula knows how to work the political system for the general good. Brazilian politics are very corrupt at all levels. You have to make decisions, as a voter, on the relative values of those who are running. This past election was a clear choice and I think the Brazilians made the right one.
Thank you Buddy for these wonderful photographs of one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world!
Wishing you a good night’s rest, Dr. R! You certainly deserve it! Thanks for your letters, and for sharing this beautiful photo from Buddy! Until tomorrow’s letter!
The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep.

Sleep well, Heather. Your promises may wait until another day.

Beautiful! We almost never get that kind of picture here in central Texas, which is a good thing considering who our governor is...
What beauty you and Buddy bring to this world! Thank you. 😊

Take care of yourself. The craziness isn’t going anywhere.
One of the most beautiful photos I've seen. Stunning!
