It is wonderful in nature

Mother nature's own window and the view was fantastic.

So we went back to this dam and I took photos from the other side.
There is a Willow tree and the photo above was taken from under the tree.

An escape from the power blackouts and other troubles here as we wander off into the beauty of nature. Yes, we are faced with many severe issues here but I find that nature stabilizes the mind so that one can think clearly about the issues.
As I have said before, Mother nature is a wonderful healer.
Come and walk with me.

There is the Willow tree that I was standing under.

Some small bucks were running around in the long grass :)

Now tell me what this looks like to you. I drew with a yellow line what I thought it was.

Look how beautiful this African Darter (Snake bird) is (Anhinga rufa).

A cloud moved over the sun in the picture below.

Finally as we left I wanted to show the cloud's reflection on the dam.

Oh, I forget. This little Half-collared Kingfisher (Alcedo semitorquata) was also hanging around and I will do a separate post on him and some other birds.

The Covid lockdowns under lack of electricity are activators for short tempers. The people are all insecure, anxious, and suspicious nowadays as a result of these occurrences, and it is difficult to do our work. The enforced wearing of masks is also bringing about a sense of fear as one can never know who is genuine or who is a criminal. We have severe issues of car hijackings, house robberies, and violence.
Now you can see why we flee into nature for solace and therapy.
Such is life. I hope that you enjoyed the photos.

And That's All Friends.

Oh so beautiful, Zac, I love the first image - the reflection is gorgeous - but the Kingfisher is my favourite today, so lovely and cute ☺️
In nature you can live and relax without these restrictions or dangerous situations, except of hungry lions, and you can forget all problems and troubles for a while that are waiting at home anyway.

Thank you my friend and you are right as that little bird is a stunner and I kept a special eye out for him, as I knew that he will be around.

Oh yeah, we will have to negotiate with the lions and if they decide to rather attack us, then all of our worries will be gone 🤣🤣🤣

Cheers and thanks.

All my pleasure, Zac ☺️

You just have to use the right words, Zac - tell them that the big Squirrelzilla will come and eat them if they eat you 🤣


!PIZZA and !BEER - sounds like a nice dinner :)

Squirrelzilla, if I don't believes you how do you think the lions will believe me?
Maybe they will fall down laughing and that will give me a chance to run away 🤣

Cheers and thanks.

Yep, if they fall down laughing it worked too, but better would be if they would run away crying 🤣 !LOLZ

I will ask the witchdoctor what to do to get lions running away crying. But I bet he will give me something to make me more skinny so that I look like a walking skeleton.
Lions don't eat old bones with no meat on them and so they will run away crying 🤣 !LOLZ

Cheers and thanks.

Nature offering it's best at the moment, sunny skies with many wonderful delights outdoors.

Humans not so happy, fear of what tomorrow may bring, murders and mayhem reigns supreme, take time to enjoy every precious moment.

!LUV - loaded with hope for a better tomorrow!

Just that lovely touch of nature at the onset of winter my friend. The clouds gifted me some great shots today and it is indeed delightful outdoors.

So many killed every day here that it makes one's head spin. So it's no longer if it happens to one, but when. Live every day as if it's your last.

Going anywhere is no longer safe, leaving tomorrow and hope for a clear run up and back...

Last year we returned at the start of strike action, definitely will not sit waiting for the end, get up, go out and make the most of it, keep watching over your shoulder!

Phoned ahead yesterday, appears the internet is down throughout the town so will be quiet from my side for a week possibly....

We will pray for travel mercies my friend.

Yes, always the way to go and we have also been in many tight spots, but logic prevailed to get us out of it.
A cat has nine lives, but I have more 😉

Just go out and enjoy the offline freedom like times of old.
