More than 400 dead now in the floods and 1000 homeless after a fire.
So we went out to a farm to look at some autumn (fall) colors to settle our troubled emotions.
Recently a cyclone caused severe flooding in the KZN province of South Africa with many deaths and houses no longer existing in several mudslides. It is one of the worst catastrophes in South African history. Then a fire broke out leaving 1000 homeless in one of our townships here in the Western Cape Province. It seems that Mother nature is getting angrier day by day due to our mistreatment of her.
So to pacify our troubled souls we went out to a farm to view some beautiful colors.
Birds are a sign of health, clear water and much food, so that's why this Jackal Buzzard was cruising around looking for a rodent or a rabbit.
The grapes were harvested and now the land is resting and recuperating before the new grapes will sprout next spring season.
I have been on and on about the urgent matter of caring in my posts over time, but it's like talking to a wall. We have many successful generational farms over here and their management of nature is excellent as the farmers taught the value of nature to their children and workers over the years.
Without nature we can simply not survive, but we simply continue to pump toxic gasses into the atmosphere and forests are destroyed for human habitation, or farming enterprises. The oceans are littered with plastics and sea life is dying that should serve as warnings to us.
It is getting so bad that we will see many more severe incidents appearing unannounced and catching us all flat footed.
The time to stop is now, right now and we should all start to make a noise.
Just my Easter Monday rant here.
And That's All Friends.
