Dusk in Salzburg…
Prague: Glimpses of St. Vitus
You’ll see that HWTHB took two of these photos!!! (I love it when he does that – he’s got a much better eye than I’ll ever have!!!) 😀
Prague: Loving all over again..
The Jacaranda City…
It is funny how we are able to take something as the blooming of flowers for granted… Yes, it happens every year come spring/summer… This year however is different for me…
I am very fond of the city I live in – known as Pretoria! 🙂 It is hilly, full of trees, no high buildings (except for down town!)… it is like a huge town!! In summer when all the trees have leaves, the buildings disappear… It is magical!!! One quickly tends to get used to this – look past the beauty of this simple observation!! But this year is different for me…
Pretoria’s streets are lined with Jacaranda trees – in spring it would be hard to find a street that has no purple in it… Pretoria is fondly known as the ‘Jacaranda City’!! It is gorgeous… but goes by quite quickly!!! This is also the season when year-end exams start… So there are a nervous feeling attached to the blooming of the jacarandas as well… (If you haven’t started studying by this time – you are in for a tough time… 😉 )… Last year I “missed” taking photos of this beautiful time… but this year me & my Mommy took an opportunity after some afternoon showers to go & take some photos… -I am not about to leave this country without a few shots of this sentimental happening!!!

Don’t take the little/routine events for granted – you never know when you might not have the chance to witness it again soon!!! 🙂 **
Weekly Photo Challenge: Silhouette
This will be my first weekly challenge post!!! I am quite absent on my blog – & I am sorry to admit that I haven’t been taking much photos lately.. 😦
But – last night HWTHB took a phone call outside (it had been raining all day), & he came in saying he saw a great shot!! We ended up playing around in the cold night a bit… In the end this was our last shot… The end result a great silhouette shot & very very wet bums!!! 😀
Also linking to this challenge is my previous posts – the jumping sea shots!! (click on the photo to see the rest of the post!!!) 🙂
We have started packing/sorting our stuff!!! A few books have gone into boxes… A LOT has been thrown out!!! Kind of sad, but very ‘spring-cleany’… 😉
Our wedding RSVP’s have closed and all those ‘fun stuffies’ are well on it’s way… Some shoe-shopping tomorrow!!! 😀 **
A weekend in Magoebaskloof…
This weekend He-who-thinks-he’s-boss had some business to attend to up in Limpopo Province… He took me along for a fun weekend away!!! 😀
With our morning cuppa on Saturday morning he surprised me with something very special… Head on over to our blog for the surprise… 😉
We saw some breathtaking nature this weekend!!! Below is a photo of a tea plantation we visited later on Saturday… A stunning view with great company!!! 😀
Vienna, Austria – Votivkirche
Broken…
A ride on the Anaconda…
A bit on the Anaconda – – – It is one of the only three roller coasters manufactured by Giovanola… It includes five inversions and reaches a maximum g-force of 3.5G (which after the ride I could totally still feel — I felt light-headed for at least an hour afterwards…)!!!
But it was super great fun!!! 😀
I never mentioned that all my Gold Reef City photos was taken with my little snapper… Because who wants to carry a big camera around at a theme park all day?? 😉 **
