Inkwenkwizi Game Reserve, Eastern Cape, South Africa.

The four major ethnic divisions among Black South Africans are the Nguni, Sotho, Shangaan-Tsonga and Venda. The Nguni represent nearly two thirds of South Africa's Black population and can be divided into four distinct groups: the Northern and Central Nguni (the Zulu-speaking peoples), the Southern Nguni (the Xhosa-speaking peoples), the Swazi people from Swaziland and adjacent areas and the Ndebele people of the Northern Province and Mpumalanga. The Bantu-speaking groups that were the ancestors of the Nguni migrated down from East Africa as early as the 17th century.
The Xhosa are the second largest cultural group in South Africa, after the Zulu-speaking nation. They are a Bantu ethnic group of Southern Africa mainly found in the Eastern and Western Cape.
At a wedding reception in Quito, a Mariachi band played several lively Mexican songs. The woman singer wears the traditional silver studded charro outfit with a wide-brimmed hat.
This picture SUCKS. And I really don't care, just like I didn't care to
take the food out of my teeth before last night's picture.
*edited to add:
I am having my first migraine in four months. I have had one or more
every month for the past ten years, except for the year I was strictly on
Atkins, during which I might have had two or three all year. But for some
reason, I've not had them lately. Anyway, I'm having one now.
I was thinking this morning that I'd been very lucky not to have had a
migraine, and maybe I should thank my lucky stars that I'm having sleep
troubles instead of migraines.
LOL.

I have an old-fashioned hand-operated Singer sewing machine my grandparents gave me when I was a small child - I have always loved it's 'traditional' look, and was experimenting with the macro function on my camera.
