Rico is a little bit shy. He lives with his good friend in sunny Bendigo and enjoys playing football and watching Flight of the Conchords. His heart changes colour with the t-shirt colour! High tech! You can see a reversed version for the black tee here

Borinquen Beach, Puerto Rico. Kind of weird. There is an asphalt parking lot that would probably hold 50 cars right next to this beach, and a golf course on top of the cliff above, but you can come here almost anytime of the day and have the entire place to your self. Good for finding sea glass too.
Famous and loved by the locals.. I always go for a visit when I am in Old San Juan , Puerto Rico . this place is famous for only men attending yu :) woooooo hoo!.. AND for the mallorcas.. and a mallorca is simply puertto rican bread grilled .. while hot , they squish it and sprinkle powdered sugar on it.. and serve with fresh butter….. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.. A Puerto Rican Sunday morning institution, La Bombonera offers huge mallorcas and other baked items. It’s a well-kept secret, however is its ability to prepare excellent meals consistently. La Bombonera attracts huge crowds on weekends. Be sure to try the Puerto Rican coffee. Housed in an historical building, this operation’s colonial décor provides for great atmosphere and a chance to mix and mingle with the locals.

Forms made by the ocean water when it reaches the sand and then goes back to the ocean. This movement of the waves leaves forms and patterns in the sand and they last just a few seconds. I was lucky to be there and capture this forms. Image taken at Isla Verde Beach, San Juan, Puerto Rico – Caribbean / Sea and Sand Forms was Featured in SEA group! /
This image was FEATURED by SEA group! I appreciate this and feel honored!! This image was ALSO FEATURED by #1 PUERTO RICO PHOTOGRAPHY group… and also feel super honored! Thank You all! This shot is uploaded specifically for the challenge “Define Yourself” of the WOMAN PHOTOGRAPHER Group. Mariarena is the artistic name I chose when I decided to awaken my camera and give my creativity a second chance. I studied photography many years ago, but life took me to the typical hectic existence of a working “mother of four”. There were no choices until recently… I chose to retire, to live in a beach apartment, to go back to photography and I even chose my name Mariarena… it means “Mar y Arena” in Spanish or “Sand and Sea” in English. / All of my latest choices define who I am today… a creative woman who lives by the seashore enjoying the magic of the sand interacting with the water. / This shot of the seashore defines who I am today , as it is walking in the sand that I have found strength, happiness and self assurance. I have even found an erotic subconscious manifested in many of my photos of sand formations in my RB’s portfolio, but decided not to use a sensual one for fear of being too provocative. Many of my sand and seashore abstract photos in my portfolio are witnesses of who I am. / I have shared with you my inner truth! / / CANON EOS 40-D with CANON lense 28-135mm IS Macro

This shot of a puertorrican lady “fritolera” frying alcapurrias, a typical plate of mashed yuca stuffed with meat in Pinones beach . This is an isolated beach sector still surviving the hotel expansion in San Juan, Hundreds of years ago african slaves who got their liberty or escaped from an Hacienda would gather in this once secluded beach sector in northern Puerto Rico and constituted a tight knitted community of african heritage. Locals visit the community to eat native delicacies and spend the day at the beach. Please note they still burn wood for cooking instead of gas or electricity. /
Castillo de San Cristobal or “Saint Christopher Castle” in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico is the largest fortification ever built by the Spanish in the New World. Declared a World Heritage site in 1983, this massive fortification covers 27 acres. This is a view from the fort of what is called the Devil’s Sentry Box. It is the oldest surviving element of San Cristobal, a lonely lookout post renown in Puerto Rican legend as the “Garita del Diablo”. Sentries manning this post regularly shouted “Alerta” during their watch to communicate with other soldiers and keep themselves awake during the long nights. This view cannot be readily seen from the fort. I was strolling along the top of the fort and could hear the roaring of the surf below but could not see it because of the high parapet walls. I decided to precariously climb out onto one of the openings where the cannons would shoot from. When I got to the edge I was struck by this wonderful sight. And as an added bonus there happened to be a person sitting on the wall.
Santa Maria Magdalena de Pazzis Cemetery is a colonial-era cemetery located in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. It is the final resting place of many of Puerto Rico’s most prominent natives and residents. Construction began in 1863 under the auspices of Ignacio Mascaro. The cemetery is located outside the walls of Fort San Felipe del Morro fortress, one of the island’s most famous landmarks. The average height of the wall is 40 feet and the width ranges from 15 to 20 feet.[1] According to Rafael Rodriguez, Chaplin and director of pastoral services at University of the Sacred Heart located in the Santurce district of the capital, the location of the cemetery is central to the Puerto Rican belief in the separation of death and life. The colonial Spanish government at the time construction of the cemetery commenced, viewed death with fear because it was a mystery. Therefore, they decided to build the cemetery to overlook the Atlantic Ocean to symbolize the spirit’s journey to cross over to the afterlife.
