My 41st birthday

'Happy Birthday' bunting strung up outside my room by my Dad. What a lovely sight to wake up to. He bought it for Arno's 60th two years ago and I have a feeling it's going to become a regular feature of birthdays celebrated in Prince Albert.

A close-up of the bunting.

Afternoon birthday tea party; complete with silver birthday candles. Life's too short not to go to town with celebrations.

Roadtripping

Off to Prince Albert at last! We hit the N1 at 16h48 amidst rush-hour traffic.
Veld flowers next to the highway shortly after going through Du Toitskloof Tunnel.

A double poinsettia, I am told. The photograph doesn't adequately capture the intense saturated red of these flowers. Taken at the Shell Ultra City in Worcestor.

Early morning garden

Geranium flowers.

Geranium flowers peaking their noses out.

My first rose of the season, slightly weathered already.

My first strawberry. After transfering it from the nursery pot into its new more spacious home it turned red overnight. That's gratitude.

Watsonia flower.

Violas



Fern fronds

The beautiful fronds of the tree fern in the back garden... like unfolding caterpillars.
