This was what I had for lunch on Saturday, croissant dough made into a bread, with sliced organic cured beef. It was really tasty, but with the amount of butter in the bread, there is no way that you can even pretend that it is healty.

The feather of an Egyptian Goose, found while walking my dogs after some
light rain. I love the way the drops of water magnify the grain of the
feather.

Another photo of the fire, this time with the firemen putting it out. When you feel the heat, you start to realise how brave they really are.

I was driving home, when I saw a huge fire in some open land. The fire
trucks were there, and although devastating to the grass, a great photo
opportunity.

Earth Fair food market. I had great fun walking around the market taking photos of all the yummy food.
This was going to be my picture for day 51, but I drove past a quite a big fire, so my action photos of the fire took precedence. Good think I had my camera with me :-)

Onions for sale on the side of the road. I tried to make the photo B&W with
a little colour on the actual bags of onions. How do you think that it came
out?
Today is my first milestone; 50 days into my project of a photo per day.
By the way, R25 for the onions is about $3, cheap even for local prices!

With the wet spring and hot summer, my chilli plants have gone crazy. I have got literally hundreds of them on my trees at the moment. I doubt that I will manage to eat them all, but they do really look lovely.
Perhaps I should start to pickle some of them.

A flyer that I found in my postbox. This doctor is offering some remarkable services. He must be highly skilled, and all those services for only R50 (about $6).

It is sad that 20 years to the day after FW de Klerk announced that
the unbanning of the ANC, the release of Nelson Mandela and the
dismantling of Apartheid, so many South Africans still live like this.

"way off alone, out by himself beyond boat and shore, Jonathan
Livingston Seagull was practicing. A hundred feet in the sky he
lowered his webbed feet, lifted his beak, and strained to hold a
painful hard twisting curve through his wings." – Richard Bach.
