376: Cat on park bench
During my ten years in Belo Horizonte, I’ve spent a lot of time in Parque Municipal, the century-old city park in the heart of the capital of Minas Gerais. I was often found in the butterfly garden, in order to photograph the colorful flowers and the graciously hovering butterflies. Or I was sitting along the pond, observing the waterbirds and the people passing by. Sometimes, I sat on a bench, reading a book. On such an occasion, a big black-and-white approached me and jumped on the bench. He strided towards me and settled himself down next to me. He allowed me to stroke his head and ears. Obviously, one of his ears had a big hole in the middle. I was wondering about what might have caused this big hole, but I still have no clear explanation.

323: Dog and cat
I was once invited to stay in a countryhouse in Nova Lima, for a weekend. I accompanied a good friend and friend of ours. The countryhouse (a sítio in Brazilian-Portuguese) belonged to her brother, who lived there permanently. Because he was vacationing elsewhere, we were invited to stay at his sítio. We stayed in a guesthouse, but we could also make use of the large kitchen with a traditional wood-burning oven, the pool, the billiards room, and the large garden. It was a sunny, enjoyable weekend so we could make long walks. The dog and the cat stayed at home, and in the picture it seemed as if the dog had realized certain obscure plans what to do with the cat, as he was caught licking his muzzle.

176. Cat with yellow eyes
JANUARY 2008: Cat with yellow eyes
On our way from Belo Horizonte to Fortaleza, by bus, we had visited three paradisaical beach resorts in Northeast Brazil: Porto de Galinhas in Pernambuco, Praia da Pipa in Rio Grande do Norte, and Canoa Quebrada in Ceará. Each of them is more than worth visiting: breathtaking views, a beautiful beach, a calm ocean, cozy bars, restaurants and souvenir shops. We spent the night on the bus, while the two bus drivers carried us to another destination. Early in the morning, we arrived at the beach resort, took some breakfast, and went to the beach. Many of our large group visited the nearest beach barrack with cheap beer and stayed there all day. I joined a smaller group that preferred to walk around, to enjoy more of the location: we made long beach walks, we wandered along the narrow streets in the nearby village, and discovered many shops and restaurants. At night, all of us went to a hostel to take a shower, and then made another walk in the village until midnight. Then it was about time to enter the bus for another night ride. When we were walking in the village, I discovered this cat in a stoic pose. The flash light reflected in the eyes, turning them yellow.

138. Cat and flag
JULY 2007: Cat and flag
We were in São José de Ribamar, at about thirty km east from São Luís, capital of the state of Maranhão. São José de Ribamar is known for its giant statue of St. Joseph and his son, Jesus. It was raining slightly on our day of visit. Instead of enjoying the beach, we entered a beach barrack for a snack and some drinks. Most of my fellow travelers took some beers, while others preferred to drink caipirinha and even pure cachaça, a sugar-cane based gin. Meanwhile, some cats were wandering around. They initially ignored us, but became interested when one of us was paying attention to them and threw them some little pieces of our snacks. The young cats quickly lost their shyness and approached our table. They allowed us to touch and stroke them. One of the fellow travelers could no longer resist lifting one of them and taking it on her lap. Since she was wearing a shirt with a print of the Brazilian flag, I could not resist taking a picture of the cat and part of the flag.
