Pics from the paragliding experience...

Look carefully, I'm in the yellow canopy half way up the picture

Moments after my ever so graceful landing

A balletrina in the making... practicing for the upcoming exam... it really isn't easy always being the tallest in the class.

The great thing about being small is that your mouth is at just the right level to shovel food off your plate.



Careful inspection of the semi-precious gems at the Scratch Patch. Let's see if this one makes the grade and get's taken home.



My little sun god'let. He is MUCH more content to lie in the sun than get in the water.



And lastly my waterbaby.... getting her OUT of the water is next to impossible

God I love this City

View of Table Mountain from Blauberg Beach... one of the most beautiful sites in the world.

Sunset from the same beach... who could ask for more.

I have finally gotten around to scanning in my pictures from the expedition to Die Strandlooper last month which brought back good memories. Among them (the memories and the photos) was this one... how to tell the weather - West Coast Style. Attched to the sign there is a rope leading down to a rock... on the sign is the following:

West Coast Weather
If the rock is :-
DRY:- It's a nice day
WET:- It's raining
WHITE:- Snow
BLACK:- Night
GONE:- A bit of fog

Stop and smell the daisies...

Here are a few pic's from our glorious trip up the West Coast on Wednesday.



 

Pic of the Week

This is definitley one of my favorite pictures of my daughter. It was taken on top of Table Mountain, could it be as long as two years ago. She really has grown up quickly.
And this little man is my son, attempting to help with the gardening at ouma and oupa's holiday house. This is also about a year old and he has changed soooo much in that last year. He is still my little blonde haired angel, and always will be.

Pic of the Week

These pic's were taken when my daughter was about 9 months old. We had just moved into our new home and were out exploring the garden together. I cannot believe how quickly time goes by... she is now 7 (going on 14), and thinks she knows everything, but she will always be my angle. I do miss these times though :)

Even back then you could see she wanted to be dancer... she has also always loved being in front of the camera.

A waterborne home complete with pot-plants. Again, this is from Copenhagen in one of the many canals around Christianshavn. This must be quite a way to live. Being completely mobile, home and all, gives a whole new meaning to the phrase 'lock-up-and-go'.

Pic of the Week

Also from trip to Copenhagen. Was out walking one evening and found this boy using one of the many statues/works of art in the city as his personal jungle gym. This giant anchor is at the top of Nyhavn street district. This is the 'tourist centre' of the city. Beautiful but expensive. Anyone would do very well walking 5 minutes into the centre of town and discovering some of the quaint local hangouts.




This was most amusing. During our stay in the city we discovered many of these glass boxes dotted around the city. Each one had a different colour and theme. I am not 100% sure but I think they has something to do with exhibiting various solutions that people had come up with regarding improving daily living.


Copenhagen truly is a beautiful city. Then again we were there in October with surprisingly good weather. I would love to go back in winter and see the snow and lights and giant outdoor icerink that is created around one of the circular grass relaxation spaces.

Photoblog

During some free time today (which is a very rare event) I was browsing through some of my photo's that I actually have in digital format on my laptop... mostly pic's from a business trip to Copenhagen last year, and decided the following:
1. I want to start putting them on my blog for others to enjoy aswell
2. I need to invest in a scanner to get some of my better prints digitised
3. I must get back to some of my hobbies

So, here is pic no. 1. - Boats in Nyhavn, Copenhagen

and no. 2. - out to dinner with some colleagues
