We walked into the village yesterday morning with a view to looking through the many art galleries, (there are 24 of them, attesting to this being the art capital of the Western Cape) which are part of the annual Hermanus Fynarts Festival. It was a really beautiful day and the sea was as flat as it could be. The first whales… Continue reading Another Beautiful Winter Day in Hermanus

This morning Renee and I walked the Contour Path from Fernkloof to Northcliff as Anne had told us about the beautiful Gladioli that were in flower there when she walked with the BotSoc last week.

A wooden path led to stairs that would carry me to the white coral sands of paradise. I had arrived at… Continue reading Tropicbirds of Grand Turk

I first encountered Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoos entirely by accident. Full disclosure; I didn’t even know these majestic birds lived in Sydney. In fact, I didn’t know much about them at all. I had never seen one in a pet store or in a bird park. I’d never even seen one in the thousands of hours of David Attenborough nature shows… Continue reading Black Cockatoos in Sydney

It was a scorcher of a day in Munich. I had arrived in the great Bavarian city after a long flight from Singapore. Espresso and sunshine would be the just the tonic for jet lag, and with temperatures at a steamy 34 degrees Celsius sunshine was aplenty. I decided to walk the flight out of my legs and, of course,… Continue reading The Cemetery Squirrels – European Red
