This little dude looks … Continue reading Caterpillars →

Weather vanes

Today I am combining my Skywatch post with a Random theme... post. The random theme for today is weather vanes. There is a folk song in Afrikaans about the chicken that can't lay an egg and that chicken is the one that stands on top of the church spire. This weather vane I found standing … Continue reading Weather vanes →

Food porn = exactly the same as normal porn, just food). Today's food porn, sosatie (or kebabs as some would … Continue reading Sosaties →

Succulents

Its been a while since I've done a Random theme post. For today's post I did an impromptu macro photo shoot in my garden. I love succulents and cacti as they are easy to maintain and make the most interesting flowers when they do bloom. In front of the house I have a small rock … Continue reading Succulents →

Dragonflies

For the random theme today I am covering Dragonflies. I find them to be amazing insects and just love to sit and watch them zoom around and skimming the water at breakneck speeds.
