As you can see it's very wet over here!
A cold front has hit the Western Cape Province with our first serious winter rains since yesterday. We are so glad about the rain as many areas of the province are parched from droughts and the rain is a great blessing. Every now and again I nip outside between the cloud breaks to go and take some photos, but it's a wet business indeed. One has to hurry and as there are 3 pooches on the place, every now and then I smell of dog poop, as the garden is littered with landmines Lol.
Let's have a look! (Not at the poop hahaha)
A wet succulent flower!
Water certainly enhances the beauty of a flower!
Found this little guy, dried him off and placed him at the back under cover in a flower pot!
A wet little rose!
I think this is a wet Geranium?
Here's another type of succulent flower!
And here's a full wet succulent plant!
A puddle on the veranda border wall.
Finally, some of our beach collections on the wall.
Need I say any more about the issue of conserving water? I don't think so as there is currently a big water saving drive on over here. A population explosion that nobody planned for depleted the water stocks and combined with lower rain falls, a serious drought was averted at the last moment.
Droughts are not the only issue, as many township shacks are built below the flood lines and whenever heavy rains occur peoples lives are in danger. Especially children and the elderly.
All their belongings are soaked and an even bigger danger is exposed, pirated, electricity cables and connections.

Please spare a thought and a prayer for them.
