This house was built 2 years before I was born, so it's an old home. I fell in love with this house because of the old fashioned thick walls and high ceilings. But the winner was the saligna wooden floor.

In my humble opinion, this is one of the most delightful scenes ever. Maybe it is because we used to sail, my dad had a yacht as well as a catamaran. It was magic. This song is magic! (Moana) Blessings.

and no, unfortunately, I'm not your God sent! "Greetings of the day to you! I'm planning to have a viable business in your country but due to the fact that I am a foreigner, I cannot invest directly

Little yellow fairy slippers. (photo taken with my Canon 700D) Enjoy your day and take care.

For today, I submit a photo of a strelitzia in our garden taken with my Canon 700D: They remind us of South Africa's old flag, the "Oranje, blanje, blou", meaning orange, white and blue. Have

I have a 100 followers! A big thank you to all of you. Unfortunately due to something my one grandchild did when she played a game on my laptop (I still can't figure it out), I lost most of the people

Today, I submit photos I took of my epiphyllum cactus, also known as an orchid cactus. It doesn't like direct sunlight, but rather filtered light. The flowers are iridescent and seem red as well as a deep

I don't agree with this saying at all. Teach your children from birth to respect all forms of life. Respect is not earned, it is learnt. And out of that respect, love will grow. If it doesn't, it won't

Since we moved into this house 17 years ago, I've been in love with this plant, which is a feature in my rock garden. The Kalanchoe thyrsiflora (not completely sure if it is thyrsiflora, though), also

Today, a photo of purple daisies (I think!). Taken with my Canon 1200D and macro lens. Enjoy a blessed Sunday.

It took seven years for my waxplant to bloom. They give off sweet smelling sticky "tears" which attract all sorts of insects, although I've never seen bees on it. As you can see, mine is quite

For my contribution, a photo I took with my Canon 1200D, in 2015. I enjoyed testing my new macro lens so much, I was totally in love with it, and still is. My first "gadget" was a microscope,

My entry for today's challenge is another oldie I took with my Sony HX100V. Enjoy the week-end, and take care.

I only realize now how much I miss this class. It was a bit stressful, as Adrian is a fast talker. I had to concentrate, I didn't want to miss anything, not one word. We had difficult assignments to finish

Last night I was a bit silly, and diverted my thoughts by Googling "crazy cakes". I must admit, Hiroshima and Nagasaki are always on my mind, on the 6th and 9th of August, each and every year.

A little succulent in our rock garden. Taken with my Sony HX100V in 2011. These challenges are forcing me to go out and snap some newbies. I've been lazy lately, and my camera has been gathering dust -

And then, these sheer and delicate works of art had me sighing in awe and wonder: (photos via Google) Take care!

Tonight I surfed the Internet, and came upon some cakes that had me shake my head in wonder. For the wrong reasons, that is. I mean, like, in, seriously? There are some very rude cakes out there, and there

Today I submit a photo I took of one of the shell ginger plants growing in our garden. One of my oldies I took with my Sony H10. Take care.

Michaela DePrince. When I saw this book, I knew it was something I would like to read: Boy, was I in for a surprise. Together with Daniel Pearl's wife Mariane (a story about them later), and Immaculee
