Daisy Delight


Summer is finally here, which brings a sense of happiness and smiles to my face. A very dramatic season in terms of all the different moods it plays out. Tonight is another moody night with silent lighting on the horizon, I sit here on my 'zebra' stripped couch fittingly placed by my bedroom window as I stare into the nights abyss. I should be happy and fulfilled - but I am not... Something is picking at my door - inside I'm scared, hurt, angry and confused.

Tomorrow is a new day and with it brings the light that I seek on a daily basis. Something that fills me with life, together with all other living organisms out there that roam this beautiful place.

Lord bring into the light what is in the dark, protect me and let my light shine.

Millie's Fire

It was a sad day on Friday morning, to have witnessed the burning of Millie's on the N4. We arrived on the scene just in time to capture the destructive power of fire and wind combined. Within just 20 minute it was all over. Apparently a spark was all it took from lighting a fire within the fire place of this cosy restaurant - minutes later the thatch caught alight and it was over. No people were injured, and staff were caught in the act of helping put out the flames or their beloved work place. What will come of them in this desolate area? A fire chopper aided in the extermination and helped control the spread of the fire to the rest of the buildings. Great work on a wintery friday morning!

Catastrophe!

This cute little thing, is not all good looks - but the other night brought in the largest rat from the veld it could find! It was all blood, gore and guts over our lounge carpet! Thanks Mika! Cute little girl of mine...

Coffee?

The power had been out for several hours and now well into the morning. I needed my fix of caffeine. What better way than to brew fresh coffee on a cold winters morning in your fire! How innovative - I could think of nothing better!

Sunset Good-Byes

Cold. Chilly. Colourful. Scenic. Serene. Textured. Running. Laughing.
Sniffing. Forrest.

Love Aloes

Cheese and Wine Sunday

What a magical afternoon. Peace, tranquillity, love, passion, relaxation...
I absolutely love nothing else than to sit down, sip good wine, and look out
onto magical views. God is amazing!

I love the seasons colour change, you will always know its winter by the crispness fresh blue sky...

Milky Way

Its Easter Sunday, the holiest of calendar days. It is the most perfect night, a cool breeze, I stare into the milky way above me. I feel minute and at peace with everything - I could not want more or less this very second. I thank Him for my life and where I am right this moment.

Barrabas

Sin...

My biggest sin, if you can call it that, is a good cup of filter coffee and a slice of the most delicious cake!

Leaf

Dried leaves drifting across the sky, evocative of the approaching autumn.

Beans About Coffee

A stunning coffee bar in Dullstroom, where you could go "beans" about the coffee they have! Just the smell is orgasmic enough!

Creepy-crawlies

A rain spider from the last of the summer rains lurks in the shadows of our ceiling fan, which probably is the cause of why I haven't slept well in the past 2 nights... Clearly the both of us are scared - for the coming dry winter months.

Mantis

The Koi-San consider Praying Mantis' to be a sign of good luck - so do I!

Travel-dravel

Drive's home back west, makes for moodyness on the horizon and in my heart...
