Through the eye of a camera, a record of life and rambles around the Western Cape. Monday, November 28, 2011. Where my heart is. By Friday evening all our possessions had been delivered to our new home in Betty's Bay and we sat out on the verandah at sunset drinking a toast to the start of our new life. My two gorgeous daughters relaxing after their hard work. And watched the magnificent sunset. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Betty's Bay, Overstrand, South Africa. Where my heart is.

Through the eye of a camera, a record of life and rambles around the Western Cape. Monday, August 27, 2012. Passionate Observer - Variety and Light. With abject apologies to Susan Black. Here is my (extremely late) offering for the second photo challenge. The task this week was to try and capture a variety of subjects in different lighting situations and from unexpected angles, even abstracting the images down to simple color, light and shadow. Windblown Pincushion flower reaching for the skies. I call t...

Through the eye of a camera, a record of life and rambles around the Western Cape. Wednesday, March 28, 2012. I was lost the moment I woke up and walked out on to the bedroom balcony. The tide was out, the wet beach sand gleamed and the air was fresh and salty. All resolutions about Work That Had To Be Done Today flew out of my head and wafted away in the soft breeze. Ten minutes later I was down at Silversands Beach. The walkers caught up and passed me, obligingly adding some scale to the image. One of ...

Through the eye of a camera, a record of life and rambles around the Western Cape. Friday, January 20, 2012. We're having a heatwave. A tropical heatwave,. The temperature's rising,. It isn't surprising . *. That everyone's off to the beach! Days of dazzling light and sizzling heat. Seaweed, a giant comma on the sand. Bliss for little kids. And not so little kids. Despite this being the final week of school holidays, the Main Beach in Betty's Bay offered plenty of open space. Links to this post. The old ...

Through the eye of a camera, a record of life and rambles around the Western Cape. Friday, June 29, 2012. On the way to the village of Bot River we had to stop to capture pix of the green and gold landscapes all round us while wandering down a pretty farm road lined with bright yellow flowers. I was so happy to have my daughter spending the weekend with us. As well as being exceptionally good company and a fine cook, she's a knowledgeable and enthusiastic wine connoisseur and photographer. Wednesday, Jun...

Through the eye of a camera, a record of life and rambles around the Western Cape. Friday, July 27, 2012. After all that wine tasting we needed some "blotting paper" so it was back to Bot River for lunch. We'd seen an intriguing sign on an old tin building on the railway station platform and we decided that this would be an interesting place to have lunch. Links to this post. Bot River Wine Route. Saturday, July 7, 2012. The journey continues . The undulating valleys and hills make a patchwork like quilt...

Through the eye of a camera, a record of life and rambles around the Western Cape. Tuesday, April 3, 2012. When we got to the bird hide we saw two horses fairly close by, so we crept quitely into the hide and settled down, binoculars and camera ready, hoping the horses wouldn't take fright and gallop off. On the contrary they moved closer and closer towards us, peacefully grazing and perfectly relaxed. From a pamphet suppled by the Kleinmond Tourism Office, written by Dr F J van der Merwe and titled "The...
