I was zooming in on the Malachite Sunbird, when a noisy plane suddenly appeared. The bird flew away, and I decided to zoom in on the plane. Just as well as I did, as the pilot was doing stunts in the sky,

It rained in the morning, and later on after it stopped, Robby popped in for a bath. In here you will see a Cape Robin-Chat (Cossypha caffra) bathing, and also a Pied Crow (Corvus albus) taking off from

And not only that, as flowers (blooms) are also the sustenance of life. We saw that the yellow Protea Pincushions are also starting to bloom. Just goes to show how intelligent the sunbirds are, as they

...and as usual, I took some random shots of the landscapes. It is the first day of the new month, of September, and we hope that it will be kind to everyone. We just have to keep an eye on that El Nino

I found the nest on a farm that borders on the mountains. It is the first week of feeding, and I could see that the babies of the Malachite Sunbirds (Nectarinia famosa) hatched, as I timed the female coming

Seven years ago I reached the formal retirement age, but life had other plans for me. So, now I will show you a road trip to another town as I was requested to do a eulogy at a memorial service. You will

I posted it about 3, or 4 years ago, and the ones that are still here on Hive might remember it. So, we returned here, as we heard that a new coffee shop had opened up. I will show you some doves (5 shots),

The staff saw a snake, and it seems that the birds also knew that there was a snake around. So, these two friends, a Cape Sparrow and a Mousebird landed on a tree. I will break this story up into sections

What a lovely surprise to see the oldies out and about. Do you know what type of old car this one is? Not to worry, as I will show you below. My wife is always searching for special prices on food sales,

...and so, we crawled along at 20kph for awhile. It is said that speed kills, and in this case, there was no speeding to talk of. Just an ultra slow drive until that machine turned off wherever it was

Two species that are similarly colored, but quite different in size. In here you will see 4 shots of the male and his female, and then 4 shots of the other sunbird and his female. It was the one non misty

And yet again, I have to warn sensitive souls not to view this. In my previous Peregrine post that you can see HERE, I said that I had another post to do about the Peregrine, and this time he had a bigger

At first, I got this Guinea Fowl lady wearing the latest fashions. Lately women wear tight fitting pants, and you can see that Ginny, the Guinea fowl lady also had some tights on, but she covered her bum

The wind from the west swept the sky with cloudy tendrils. Like I said, we have never seen this before but imagine walking out of your house in the morning and seeing this in the sky. Oh yes, I was dumbfounded

Early morning and I was watching the beautiful cloud streams coming over. Then I saw some birds appearing from far away, and it looked like they were headed in my direction. It all worked out so great

I had to wait for a cloud to appear above the center of a tree. At first, I had to see which way the cloud was travelling, towards the right hand of the tree, or towards the left. I preferred it to travel

Let me show you some produce and some lovely flowers. They have a special section on this farm dedicated to grow organic strawberries. No nasty pesticides that contaminate everything, and only fresh

You will see how bees, a squirrel, and a bird find this flower very useful. I just had to take a shot of this aloe flower as the rain stopped, and the drops formed little crystal drops that looked beautiful

Oh yes, I have been watching the cloud build-up on the horizon every day. And as soon as I see the cloud lines that seem to be ideal, then we jump into the car to travel to a high spot. This was our reward

Ever so slowly nature has started to greet the impending Spring season again. I have a random collection of plants. The first one above looks like a Red-hot Poker which is part of the Aloe family. Please
