In celebration of the lovely summer coming to a close, and the music of João Gilberto and Natalia Lafourcade, I thought I’d do the song “Eclipse” by Margarita Lecuona. I love both Natalia and João’s versions of it. Gilberto turned it into a gorgeous bossa nova on “Voz e violão”. Thank you to all these terrific musicians for making the world a beautiful place with their glorious music. Una canción muy hermosa para celebrar el verano. #bossanova #ukulele #ukulelejazz #baritoneukulele #baritoneuke @playmusicontheporch #playmusicontheporchday @natalialafourcade @joaogilbertooficial @ukuleleforjazzsingers

We woke up on a chilly February morning at 5AM to set out on a boat in Rausu, Hokkaido, also known as the “Eagle capital of the world”. I love how the dawn light is reflected in the water as the sun rises. I learned so much about how to use my camera better on that excursion. With thanks to @juliuspang for guiding us to this magical place. #whitetailedeagle #rausu #hokkaido #Japan #wildlifephotography #birdsofprey
