Summer is coming.....

This is an Erythrina or Coral Tree - sunbirds love the nectar

Awesome sunrise from last weekend....there are advantages to getting up so early to go cycling!

On the left is Clivia and right is Scadoxia.....summer is coming!!!

Some more pics

I took these when I was on tour in Zululand a couple of weeks ago......



Fish for lunch....


Dumazulu village - basket weaving & dancing

So many pretty birds out.....

Not a great photo of this lioness....but evidence none the less!

I love my job!

Yesterday I went up to the Kamberg area to do a transfer - it was stunning! I am so lucky to be able to travel around our amazing province and see how beautiful it is.........


I'm sure this snow won't last for long, it was nice and warm up there.




Every time I drive past this farm, I wish that I have my camera with me - this time I was prepared and finally got my photo of their driveway. I'll have to go back again in spring, and summer, and autumn.......

Tala by mtb

My sister & I did the Tala Family Ride this weekend. Needless to say it was very wet & muddy and we walked a lot of the route:-) I really enjoyed being able to see the reserve by bike. We didn't see too much game up close - I think we all made far too much noise....but did see giraffe, wildebeest & zebra in the distance.

My faithful steed got very clogged up with mud & grass!

Diski Dance

I have added a link on the right hand side to the Diski Dance tutorial on Youtube.....I haven't figured out how to put a link in a post yet obviously!!

Anyway, this is the dance that they have created & choreographed for the 2010 Soccer World Cup which for those of you who may not know, is going to be held in South Africa. It is modelled on soccer 'moves' - looks like fun:-)
