Water droplets

Aaaaaaa..... There is no place like home. We got back from two weeks of camping yesterday and although its nice being on holiday, its nicer to get cleaned up properly and to sleep on your own bed and not an inflatable mattress. My back is shot. Now to sort through all the pictures I took to see what can be posted and what can go straight into my stock. Holiday pictures will start tomorrow. In the mean time here are a couple of pics I shot the day before we left after we had a bit of an overnight drizzle.

Happy New Year

I would like to wish everybody a HAPPY NEW YEAR. May the year ahead bring so much joy and happiness that you'll actually be embarrassed to talk about it.

Shore

The shore of the Sundays River close to the river mouth

Gem-studded Puff-ball

The Gem-studded Puff-ball (Lycoperdon perlatum) grows up to 50 millimeters high and can be found either in clusters or on its own. The mushroom is covered in tiny wards leaving depressions and are normally found in late summer to autumn among fallen leaves of broadleaved trees.

Merry Christmas

I wanted to get a very artistic picture for my Christmas post, but just ran out of time before we had to pack for our holiday. I decided to rather post this one of what Santa should look like when visiting our shores over Christmas. As it is summer he is wearing shorts and a funky short sleeve shirt and is having a party on the beach. Drama Princess decided to pose with him for me.

MERRY CHRISTMAS everybody. May the day bring happiness and goodness in all of your lives.
