Lunar Raves

This was my day....
I had errands to run in the north of Pretoria today and on the way home, I took a detour through the Union Buildings. I wanted to get some shots of the Jacarandas which are in full bloom throughout the city. With all the political turmoil, violence and the hate speech spewing forth, I needed to take a breath and see exactly what I miss in the noise of my busy everyday life. I definitely did stop and smell the roses today.



I used to live on the hill, just left of the Tower - which is now a "monument" to the 2010 World Cup.

Beautiful Bougainvillea in Government Avenue

My flowering pot has come alive for the summer
A little piece of Paradise on the East of Pretoria.
I went to pick up some knitted squares for the abandoned baby home from an old friend of mine. She turned 82 recently and has been knitting for us for about 18 months. She's an aqua aerobics mate :)

She lives in a cottage next to her daughters home with their 4 gorgeous horses and sprawling grounds. Imagine having this to look at every day when you wake up - a stone's throw from civilisation. I could paint and quilt and potter to my heart's content!
