⌚ Memory Lane 7 ⌚
We both thought that our first outing for photos didn’t go well. My sweaty face from the hot day did not make for pretty photos. But we decided to try again, for boob’s sakes! 😅 So for our next outing we decided to go to a botanical garden. We’ve been to one previously and it sounded like a good idea!
We had a photoshoot even before we got married in a botanical garden. I was only 18 years old! So the logical conc...

🌳 Renew the Spirit 🌳
It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men’s hearts,
as for that subtle something,
that quality of air that emanation from old trees,
that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit.
- Robert Louis Stevenson
Have a good night everyone!

🌲 Persian Carpet 🌲
Sitting on a thick layer of pine needles is so much better than sitting on a Persian carpet. It is so much softer, it smells so much nicer and the color is just this this amazing red-brown color.
But I’m still very scared or the creepy crawlies scurrying between my legs and butt!! I’ve been doing this for so many years, and every time I sit down, it is with a lot of trepidation. But then, to conquer our fears, we m...

🌉 Build Bridges🌉
Come, let us build bridges of love with each other
with the cement of kindness
and pillars of trust.
- Debasish Mridha
This bridge was part of a MTB bike track that was often used by bikers. It crosses the small Apies (Monkey) river. It was used less and less due to criminal activity in the area. That led to no maintenance being done, and now the sad fact is that this bridge is gone! 😥 Fallen into the river below and...

💙 Monday Again???💙
This was on a gravel road just to the east of Barberton. We can spend hours just driving through the pine forests. The smell of the pine trees is just amazing. It was so relaxing, I had to have a nap on some hard wood! 😅🤣

It was only a sunny smile,
And little it cost in the giving,
But like morning light
It scattered the night
And made the day worth living.

Stoney and Meat Loaf - She Waits By The Window
She waits by the window
To see if love is near
Her head on the pillow
She yields to tears
Standing in front of your light
Nothing is turning out right
Nothing comes out from inside
Nothing is turning out right
Ooh
She waits at the window
To see her tears
She's asking the question
Why he's not here it isn't clear
On the window sill of our Honeymoon Hotel. We spend our h...

Vicky Leandros - Love Is Blue
Blue, blue, my world is blue
Blue is my world since I'm without you
Grey, grey, my love is grey
Cold is my heart since you went away
Red, red, my eyes are red
Cryin' for you alone in my bed
Green, green, my jealous heart
I doubted you and now we're apart
Vicky has such a beautiful voice. She was my favorite since I was a ch1ld. Of all her songs this one is my favorite.

Well, take me back down where cool water flows, yeah.
Let me remember things I love,
Stoppin' at the log where catfish bite,
Walkin' along the river road at night,
Barefoot girls dancin' in the moonlight.
Water just soothes the soul and calms the mind. This is a small river deep in the Drakensberg Mountains. It was on this day that we discovered our Honey Moon Hotel…in ...

Cause all I want is to be in the Light

And riches have no worth”

And the wild mountain thyme

A time to be reapin', a time to be sowin'.
The green leaves of Summer are callin' me home.
'Twas so good to be y0ung then, in a season of plenty,
When the catfish were jumpin' as high as the sky.
A time just for plantin', a time just for ploughin'.
A time to be courtin' a girl of your own.

The lady in red is dancing with me, cheek to cheek,
There's nobody here, it's just you and me,
It's where I want to be,
But I hardly know this beauty by my side,
I'll never forget the way you look tonight;
One of my most loved photos. I just love the artistry of the photo.

In a shabby little hut
By the dock
Down by the sea
It ain't nothing fancy but
Yeah, it's paradise to me
Our little hut over the water. We discovered it years ago and made a point of having lunch and a beer here whenever we were in the area. But now it gone…gone…gone! But we’ve started to accept that some of our favourite place might be gone when we return. Part of life I guess!

Happy Friday everyone. It is time to forget all the bad things that’s happened during the week!
Go sit under a tree, relax and start preparing for an awesome weekend!
These photos were taken in a botanical garden. We had to keep a good lookout that day, so it was a nerve wrecking day😅. That is the reason I kept my top on. But it is definitely part of the fun!!
This is actually the third photoshoot after the implants. M...

This was actually close to the Zwakala Brewery 🍺 right next to the dirt road we were traveling on. My husband just like the trees next to the road. He thought it would make a great background. I do think the photos came out OK. 👍

💧 River Run, River Flow💧
Spinning wheels and fishing reels and cockeled shell perfume
Woolen shores and marketstores and flowers in full bloom
Understanding people who will never stop and stare
That is where I want to be
River, won’t you carry me back there?
River run, river flow
Take me where I long to go
There’s a place you will find
Not too far away
It’s quite near today, in my mind
