This weekend was an amazing weekend, whenever I go out into nature, I just feel the presence of God, and this weekend was no exception, I took Kayla and a friend to a nature reserve for the weekend, we had lots of rest and relaxation which is just what I needed, after having a volcanic eruption at work on Thursday, or was it a glacial melt down............ mmmmm
I just don't know my own strength....... did you see it move you must have seen it move...... did you........ did you........
What an example this tree sets, that against all odds, it is growing........ what have we got to complain about..........
This was the most dangerous animal there, Kayla and my car, I used the time to give her some driving practice......... go figure even if you take your foot of the accelerator and your going down hill the car doesn't stop........ ever tried free wheeling down a hill round a corner and through a donga................ scary scary............
You go first, no you go first........
Are you sure I can go first................
Just get it over with...........................
And then it took a step forward and we ran for the car....... the horns were a bit more than we were willing to risk.......
The views were amazing, you could see the African bush for ........ as far as you could see, kilometers of nothing but bush...........
Is the ball actually supposed to stay on the carpet.......... why didn't someone tell me............
MMMMMMMMM just what the doctor ordered..............

Oh, what a nice reprieve! I love your photos...definitely different than any views I have here in Wisconsin, USA! :) (I'm more apt to see deer and squirrels...no giraffes anywhere near my neck of the woods!)
ReplyDeleteMy son gets his driver's learning permit in spring...he turns 15 in October...and takes driver's education in school 2nd semester. Fearsome!
What a great post...thanks for sharing. I love seeing pics from different areas. I've never been to Africa! (I've never been outside of North America) It's so fun to be able to journey there via my bloggy friends' blogs!
This looks amazing. I would have run too.

Hi Karen,
ReplyDeleteJust found your photos and comments about that nice looking place Dikhololo. My husband and me would love to spend our vacation there. For us it would be the first visit to South Africa and the first time to use The Holiday programm. Could you please give some comments (or advices) about an accommodation, restaurants, service level and attractions. Thank you very much.
