So great to see this.

Instead of staring at their phones, this family were on the beach at sunset.

But what was that flyer as I have never seen one like that?

So great to see that there are still families that enjoy the real things in life. As children we had nothing, but we improvised and made our own kites and carts. The thing is that nowadays most children have to be led by a parent's hand as they walk through the malls, as the children are typing on their phones. When they sit at a table the only conversation is the food order and then they are all engaged on their phones.
That's why I liked so much to see this.
Come let me show you the flyers and some other lovely photos.

SUPERMAN! Below are the two kites.

Now for some oceanscapes just my word for the opposite of landscapes :)

So beautiful isn't it?

Like I said so many times before, it's a wonderful world out there that demands our attention.
I have never been an indoors man and I don't wear a watch or even have my own phone. Now here's a laugh, we like to sit at open air restaurants for coffee and even a sandwich at times and during our early marriage years, as soon as we had finished the food I would tell my wife that I would be back now. Then I would take my camera and disappear.

My "back now" normally means an hour or a few more and you can imagine how upset she would get, so I spent the rest of the day upon my return apologizing.
Thankfully now she is used to it and she got herself some code word solution books. :)
So here's my challenge to you. Get out there into the warm arms of Mother nature and she will certainly show you some of her treasures, be it for whatever you are interested in. You will not be disappointed.

And That's All Friends.

Kites are such fun, never seen superman kites that is a new one even here. Anything to get children out enjoying a healthy lifestyle is worth spending some money to change their view from screen to sky!

As always great photography with good reason to take oneself out into the mother nature!

!LUV Happy Sunday!

I was just as surprised to see superman flying around in kite style. Better to have the kids staring at the sky instead of staring into a phone.

Thank you and like I said elsewhere, Mother nature is very happy to see us so often now during the loadshedding times.

!LUV and a happy week ahead.

Always a silver lining to everything thrown at us, make the most of being warm in sunlight hours.

Nice weak sunshine for a change and they reckon it will last until the weekend when the new cold front will arrive. Let's hope that they don't escalate the power cuts to Level 6.

I have nothing to !LOLZ about.

Oh yeah, we can only hope that some form of unity will materialize and that the prime focus would be to serve the people and not power.

Hi @papilloncharity!. Yes, those landscapes are really beautiful. The reality is that, many times, what the boys find on the screens of modern devices seems more fun 😕

Hi @elentogether!. Thank you and glad that you found them beautiful. You are right s the youngsters of today seem to be hooked on the IT world. What is so sad about it is that their health suffer, as they become non active 😥

Oh yes, this time I decided to post the answer as everyone knows Superman. Did I tell you that I invited Superman to come and have some tea and cake with us and I am still waiting years later for his reply.
Seriously though you are right as the natural world is so much better that staring at a phone all day.

My Sunday was good thank you and I wish you the best for the new week.

Thank you and yes I totally agree with you as it is way more healthy for kids to be active.
Thank you for the appreciation of my post.

You're so very right, my friend, but not only the kids are permanently looking at their phones, most of the adults aren't better.

It was certainly lovely to see the kids playing with the kites. It's a long time since I was young and had my own kite - self made, of course.

And you are also very right when you say that Mother Nature will show us her treasures, but we need to open our eyes and look up from our phones 😊

Hope you have a nice Sunday, Zac 🌞


!WINE makes a delicious dinner with !PIZZA :)

Have a great day and week, my friend 🌞


Maybe you like a !PIZZA fresh from the Oven 😋

I have had a day without a free minute and usually I don't even turn the computer on after such days, nor am I using my phone, but for a !BEER I'd do anything 😂
