The Fynbos Trail after the December fire

In early December a huge fire swept through the bush on the Wildside in the Schoenmakerskop area. One of the specific spots effected by the fire was the Fynbos Trail that starts next to Sappershoek in Schoenies.

We're usually home having a braai on a Saturday evening but today we headed to Baywest for some late afternoon shopping and dinner while Chaosboy went ice skating with a friend.

Happy New Year from PE Daily Photo

As I'm typing this post the first day of the new year is nearly over. Although I didn't do much today, I really did not have the time to do this post. Pretty much sums up my 2016.
