Patensie …
Want to know where oranges are grown here in South Africa? …here in the agricultural town of Pantensie …where everything is centered around the cultivation of citrus … We left to mid-morning Sunday to meet friends that had a wonderful secret to share with us …I had never been to Pantensie previously …so chomping at the […]
The Mother City – Capetown
On this South African wintery day, when the wind blows cold and deary, ushering in much needed rain …I sit at my desk with the heater as close as I can get without burning a hole in my sweater … and warm my heart with memories of a more amiable time of a visit to […]
The World of Birding🐤🐦🦜
Fork-Tailed Drongo
And Not An Elephant In Sight
An elephant park should have elephants…and they really can’t be missed. Not a one in sight this particular day…but lots of birds…Mr. P…my avid birder husband incredibly happy and we really didn’t mind the absence of the mammoth pachyderms that the park was named after…Addo Elephant Park Addo is a short journey we randomly make […]

And the Butt’s Have it…
One of the funniest occurrences that I seem to encounter frequently is that I’m always getting the tail end of things… But…wonderfully not at every photographic encounter…
Into the Garden…
The last few weeks have been a swirl of busyness and emotion…and with no forest within walking distance…into the garden I went…well, it’s really just the back yard😉…but it is my own personal Garden of Eden…green and full of nature’s soothing balm for my soul… “And into the forest I go, to lose my mind […]
