Let me show you some real beauty!
Very cold here today, but a clear day with some weak sunshine. Another cold front has hit the country and it stretches from the south here to way up north. We decided to go and have some coffee and tea at the Lourensford wine estate.
As usual I was about with my camera and I was fortunate to get some interesting shots.
Let's have a look!
This is the restaurant at the estate and I love the mountain backdrop. As You can see, the smoke means that they have the in-house fires going!
A bird feather floating in one of the ponds!
Mister bee and two Ladybirds on a Strelitzia!
Two redwing starlings taking off!
An old water lily leaf floating on a pond and I like the fairy lights!
South Africa's national flower, the famous Protea!
Here we have a Hadeda Ibis un-ruffling its feathers in the sun!
Finally, what would my blog be without a squirrel?
We are slowly approaching the end of winter and thankfully it was a wet winter. Most dams have increased water levels by between 10 and 20%, but sadly there are still dry dams in certain drought areas. Many new boreholes are being sunk in the dry areas to access the underground water tables.
We had a lovely time out this morning in a serene setting and thankfully the cold has kept the crowds away. The local Egyptian goose has lost 5 goslings and now there's only 7 left, but I will show you their story in a separate post.
Hope that you have enjoyed the outing!
