A Burst Of Colour On A Dreary Cape Morning

Iris This Iris put a real smile on my face when I saw it in the garden, it is the first one to flower so far and because it is a grey, rainy day in Cape Town today, I picked it and put it on my kitchen window. It has lifted my spirits completely, now it can carry on raining all day. I have a rainbow on my windowsill.

White Daisies At Springtime

White daisies Love the spring flowers that are carpeting the West Coast National Park right now. Spectacular colours and you need to get down to ground level to see the real gems, tiny orchid like blossoms and many more. Got to go back before the end of September, before the Postberg part of the park closes again. Want to get some more pics of the baby zebra and the baby bontebok.
