Thanks for your comments on my previous image!
Hello Everybody,
It seems that my trip and academic work took much more time than I had antecipated. The good news is that I have been approved to complete my doctorade in the Psychology of Homicide at the University of Coimbra, in Portugal. The bad news is that, in order to make it happen, I must finish my qualification project by the end of January and have it approved by the end of February next year. I also need to work with my advisor here in Brazil so we can get funding for my activities in Coimbra. It is all quite doable, but also very labor-intensive to actually achieve. All of this, of course, while I keep up my day-to-day teaching activities at the local universities here. Please keep me in your prayers!
All of the above means that I definitely WILL be returning to RR now, but that it is going to be be a gradual process. I will be posting images more regularly, trying to keep up with all the work from you guys, posting comments, etc., but it will be done gradually. I have to ease it step-by-step into my now even busier schedule. Slowly, though, things will eventually get back into track (they better, for I miss interacting with everybody).
Regardless of all that, I would like to give to all my warmest season's greetings. Best wishes to everybody and their loved ones!!!
Monica

Очень красивый образ. Замечательная новогодняя работа.
Really nice work you've done with this one. Man, you really do have a full plate but oh so worth while. Just think when you are old, you can say I did all this and had fun all the way. Happy New Year and may it be filled with whatever you want.
Ah ! Monica is back between columns ! I thought that you had been removed by the Portuguese, seen the crisis, and I was near to negotiate the ransom without any psychology lol. First : Congrats for your doctorade ! Second : Merry Christmas to you too ! Third : Another nice contextual superb ! See you soon. Cheers.
Fantastic light and mood. Superb shot
Oh I hope you had the best Christmas ever Monica! I wish you all the success in all you are doing, and I wish you lots of energy to accomplish all you wish in time, and yes, you will be in my prayers that all will go according to plan, and better even! A lovely image for Christmas, a bit sad in a way, to my eyes as I see her thinking that it's all so materialistic, and is this Christmas? Something perhaps we should all think about.
A great representation for the season for sure.. Love the colors and feeling of JOY!!! Great job!
nicely done... Merry Christmas to you too!!
That's great news about your doctorate! I hope it goes well for you. Hope you had a great Christmas!
