More landscapes about the beauty here.

We are blessed with the abundant nature sights here in the Western Cape.

Neat and tidy as some farms border right up to the mountains, with some spectacular views. Not only the views, as also some birds and cute animals.

The attractions are manifold in the area for visitors and the place is like a paradise. So come and take a walk with me and let's see what we can get on the camera.

This post is also suitable for #wednesdaywalk hosted by my friend @tattoodjay

Tourists come from all over the world to enjoy the views.

A soaring Jackal Buzzard appeared overhead.

There are also forests and we were glad to see that 6 of the Egyptian geese goslings survived and that they were now growing up. I posted them before as babies on the dam and originally there were 13 babies. But the predators got to a lot of them.

Troops of squirrels also reside in the forest areas as they love the fruits of the oak trees that are called acorns.

Look how cute is this youngster below. We miss all of the squirrels at our old house so much.

As I said, there were strong winds around and the sprinklers were blown all over the place.

Look at the battle of the sprinklers in the winds.

And the final bonus was that the strong winds started to blow some clouds in. Soon we will have some rain.

So yes, such is life here in paradise and I just cannot get enough of the constant views in the area. A sad incident took place as a tree was uprooted that fell on a house and some of the people inside the house were killed. I only read the headlines and will read more about the incident tomorrow. I mention this as not one area on this planet is absolutely perfect, as it is identical to all of our lives. Some days we are smiling and some days we are crying, but we generally cope with everything and it's the same in nature. As it is also in the oceans and most everywhere else on this planet.

Best is just to close our eyes and always to try to do our best with whatever life throws at us. Dark days will always turn into light and the sun will always shine, even though the clouds cover it sometimes.
I hope that you have enjoyed the story and the pictures.

And That's All Friends.

We are certainly blessed with the views and filled with gratitude Jackie.
Life happens and we just have to keep on rolling with the step backs.

The wind loves to play and today again they are chasing the rain clouds around.
Positivity is what it is all about and it's all that counts.

Wet here and hope that your Wednesday is good.

Exactly, the best attitude to have. We do the same. Whatever life brings to the table, let’s deal with it.

Here it is warm, to warm for the time of the year… but we don’t complain. Soon it is cold… 😎
Enjoy today! Fully…
👋🏻😊
