~ Window Shade Sunrise ~ Weekly Photo Challenge ~ Grid ~

My husband and I are attending an informal reunion of college friends. We are being hosted by one of those friends at his home in Tahoe City, right on the water. This was the view from my window when I woke up at 5:00 this morning.

Perfect for this challenge, which asks that our photos be in some way framed and composed through a grid.

~ Hearing in Living Color ~ Los Bambinos ~

Four brothers from Puerta Vallarta, Los Bambinos, performed for guests staying at Beach Haven Resort, July 5, 2012. Charming and talented young men, they played a mix of Latin Rock Fusion that included some Beatles and Beach Boy’s classics. Their vocal harmony was as rich as the Beach Haven sunset behind them.
