I heard the chopper's drone, but my camera was on the macro setting. Had no time to change and just took the shot!
Some sky and earth photos here for you today. I have to tell you that we suffer loadshedding, (power cuts) here in South Africa 3 times a day and it makes communications very difficult.
Nevertheless, South Africans are hardy people and we don't lay down easily.
Come have a look here below!
A falcon in a sharp upward surge to gain height!
We have been troubled by some stormy winds in the last while and there is also flooding in some parts of the country.
Moving at high speed against the wind, then he dived and was gone!
Our moon resting a bit on a cloud!
A couple of herons making their way home!
Practicing shot to get the time right for tomorrow's full moon!
Now back to earth!
Here's a mating pair of Acraea butterflies!
This little guy looks like he has been to a rave Lol.
The Pied crow is the local car guard here!
Late afternoon shot as the sunset approached us!
Finally, the mountains being washed in the sun's late glow!
And That's All Folks!
Oh no! Not quite as edited this photo in taken now at 8:28pm (20:28hrs).
Looks pretty close to a full moon methinks!
Oh yes, South Africa is a beautiful country with some kind and friendly people, but and there's always a but, there is a huge crime element present. Syndicates, rogue cops, corrupted politicians, sound familiar?
We note that many countries across the world suffer these illnesses. But with a new president here, a clean up is in progress and let's hope sanity can be restored.
In the meantime, we hope you have enjoyed the pictures and thank you for visiting a post by
