Summer Walk at the Lake
Took a walk to the local lake yesterday. It certainly felt like summer, though I suspect we are still in spring. I always like this view down the lake in any season. Between jobs and still catching up on a health issue, the local St James Lake is a very pleasant place to be. This…
Ballito Morning
In April of 2022 we took a trip to Ballito on KwaZulu Natal’s Dolphin Coast. Our timing was terrible.

A panorama picture of Tenby harbour a little after the sunrise. The buildings are each painted a different colour, presenting an interesting picture in the morning…
