Megan and Caitlin
Yesterday, I did a photoshoot with my nieces, Megan and Caitlin. Here are a couple of shots.
Megan
Caitlin. She did not want to get in front of the camera, but once she did she was so natural!
A carrot a day
A carrot a day keeps the doctor away. Well at least that is what I was always told as a child (ok so it should be an apple a day). But I was told that carrots are good for your eyes, and my blind wife loves carrots, and they didn’t seem to do much good for her.
Fresh Organic Carrots
However, there is nothing to beat fresh fruit and vegetables, especially organic vegetables. And what better way to enjoy organic vegetables than to have them delivered directly to your door? I have just signed for a great business in Cape Town called “Gannics”, and they deliver a fresh box of organic fruit and vegetables every week directly to your door.
Organic Vegetables, ready to be grilled
Today I received my first box and I am very impressed. We received lettuce, gem squash, patty pans, carrots, bananas, potatoes, asparagus, fresh beans and onions. I received a little bit of everything; and it should just about last a week. They are excellent quality; I am very impressed, and hope that more people support them.
By the way, they will also take away your old newspapers when they deliver a fresh box.
The Cape of fire
You need three things to create a huge veld fire:
- lots of wind
- plenty of dry bush
- a hot summers day.
This explains why Cape Town has a huge fire problem in the summer months. Many of them are caused by the whims of nature, but believe it or not, many are deliberately started. Often by arsonists, and sometimes even by children wanting the entertainment of the helicopters and firetrucks.
This is not the first time that I have photographed a fire in Cape Town, but the first one this year. This shot was taken at the intersection of the R300 and N2; both major roads in Cape Town. The wall in front of the flames is about 7 feed tall, so I guess the flames are over 15 feet.
(yes this was taken through my car window with my happy-snappy, so sorry about the resolution)
Fresh Summer Strawberries
One of the best parts of summer in Cape Town is the availability of fresh fruit and berries. There is nothing that can beat the flavour of fresh strawberries, I can eat them by the handful. Best of all, they are for sale on almost every street corner (and even growing in some of our gardens).
I never eat them with cream or sugar; they are best simply chopped in half and eaten as is.
