Silver Threads

Published May 7, 2012

At this time of year the morning weather can go one of two ways. Either it pours with rain, or it is a beautiful and wind-free autumn morning. In either case, the day starts out cold! On one of the latter mornings, I caught this spiders web covered in morning dew, glittering in the sunlight.

A whale of a time

Published October 11, 2011

On Sunday, we celebrated my mother-in-laws birthday by having lunch at her house. She live in St James, and her deck has a wonderful view of False Bay. Everybody came to the birthday party, even a mother and baby whale made an appearance. This shot of the mom and baby whale playing was taken from the deck (with my point and shoot, so this is as close as I could get).

Ducklings

Published September 19, 2011

I happened to see these ducklings on the vlei as I was driving past. As I grabbed my camera, they hopped into the water and swam off with mom (or dad) in tow.

Dripping Mushroom

Published July 8, 2011

A dripping mushroom is a strange thing. I have no idea how it happened, but as the mushroom grew it literally dripped onto the ground and onto the mushroom next to it. It was a cold, wet and misty morning, and I suspect that the weight of the dew on the mushroom growing caused this to happen

Still rather strange.

The soaring Eagabbit

Published June 30, 2011

About 2 months ago, I posted a picture of a white Rabbit. I was slightly startled yesterday to receive an email from Jesusdragon737, telling me that he had used the photo as a basis for some serious photoshopping. And the picture placed 3rd in a photo manipulation contest.
