Indigenous and Invasive Plants


Today I'm featuring three plants that we see on our walks in the veld near our house. The first one is a favorite of mine and it's indigenous to South Africa. Its Latin name is Lobostemon fruticosus. It’s a small evergreen shrub that attracts bees with its pretty pinkish bell-shaped flowers. The other two are pretty and attract bees too, but they are invasive alien plants. Echium plantagineum has bright purple flowers and Acacia saligna has yellow. Our dogs are also in some of the photos. They are both rescue dogs. Biscuit is the female Collie mix and Koda is the male German shepherd mix.

A Gentle Hike


We took a gentle hike on Sunday with Amanda. It was her idea to go further than the veld by our home. The first photo was taken on the fly while Hubby drove to the hiking trail.

I don't think we've done this particular stretch of trail before. It was fun and relaxing. Amanda was hoping to spot a leopard. Although not impossible, it was highly unlikely. What she did spot was the cow across from us on another hill. It's the black spot in the one photo. I used my camera's zoom to get a closer look.

The sun was setting, so some photos have interesting lens flares in them. None of these photos were edited with filters.

Road Trip with White-Capped Mountains - Part 2


I love seeing photos of country roads. They give me a sense of wonder and adventure. Where will that road take me? Today I'm sharing Part 2 of a wintery drive from earlier this year. All of these pics were taken on the fly while Hubby drove. I have also included some of my favorite country road posts with links below.
