in love with the karoo

i should be packing up our house for our imminent departure into the wilderness of unknown places like self storage depots and long forgotten experiences like communal living with friends that don't really have a choice. thanks rayne, you're a keeper.

daunting. 

so i rather show you some piks of this beautiful country we live in. 

we went on the best weekend away to the karoo with some great friends. 

i took lots of photies on my lomo, but you'll have to wait a while until i develop the film to see those. 

for now there is digital and flowers.

we are spoiled rotten in the place we call home.

gatte in die botter.

we live in the best place...

we went to do the greyton - mcgregor hike (boesmanskloof trail) this weekend with friends. wow. what a crazy beautiful landscape. the mountains got burnt recently...i'm not sure how long ago, but because of it, the mountains looked like the moon. plus, there were some awesome flowers to look at and photograph. too many photies and too little space, but here's some of my favourites...

having a quick cup of coffee with the crew in greyton before the hike..

a visit in my hometown

we went to visit the family in Worcester last weekend and decided to go hang out in the 

Karoo Desert National Botanical garden. i haven't been there in years and also think the last time i was there i wasn't really that interested in plants. the most beautiful thing we saw was the Quiver tree flowering, what a treat....
