It's very hot today (40⁰ at 11h00) so a mongoose decided to cool off in our birdbath! The Pale Chanting Goshawk who was hunting nearby didn't pay any attention to this little guy who spent about 5 minutes lying in the water!

Christmas in the Klein Karoo... I was blown away this morning when I saw this tree in the middle of nowhere along the R341. It really put a smile on my face!!! And I just had to stop and appreciate what someone had taken the time to do. Makes me wonder WHO went to the effort. Whoever you are... most people probably whizz past without appreciating this Christmas tree, but I think it's fantastic! Thank you!

An almost-full moon lighting up the still-flowing river and a happy frog serenade!

Our spekbooms have taken a beating the last few weeks. 😔 They usually do get hit by the frost but this year we've had a few -5 mornings. No fear... they will recover, there are still green leaves underneath and they are quite resilient. Just rather sad to see all the damage.

Goosebump stuff!

Quite a bit of damage done to the railway line embankment by the recent flooding of the Traka!

Another of nature's incredible creations! At first glance this just looks like a solid succulent, but when you look closely, it is made up of individually stacked leaves!!! And new stacks grow out from between the individual stacks. So excited with this new find for my little bowl of special succulents 😍 and can't wait to see the creamy white flowers that it produces!

Sigh.... beautiful Saturday sunset ❤️

Perfection! One of my favourite times of the year is when the surrounding landscape is filled with flowering aloes!

The Traka River is RAGING... and rising!

Traka River is RAGING! Lots of dead trees and wood being washed down. The water seems to be rising too. It's an angry river today! We've had more than 60mm of rain since Sunday night which is amazing for the veld!
