Hi Tina,

Just join in on your TT. Lovely flower pics that leaves me so jealous that I have not been there in nearly 8 years. My sister lived along the west coast at Vredendal and quite often we went there for visits during the flower season.

Hope you did take a drive along my childhood holiday place at Elandsbay.

(Bye from BJ )

at one of the picnic sites we saw cape spurfowl



karoo scrub robin (3)



southern double-collared sunbird





and another tortoise

[Tina]

on the way back to the gate we saw great white pelican



I think this might be Ornithogalum thyrsoides



and this one Zantedeschia aethiopica

[Tina]

mountain zebras – unfortunately a bit far away



three in one

[Tina]

bokmakierie (4)



white-throated canary (5)
