Open Garden

At the Ina Paarman garden in Constantia.

~ A year ago today I was eating pineapple ~ 

Wispy Wisps

This afternoon the tablecloth on Table Mountain was a particularly pretty and lacy one.

~ A year ago today I was replacing a lightbulb ~ 

After the Rain

It was gloomy and wet today. Cloud lingered even after the rain stopped.

~ A year ago today I was lying on my bed and reading ~ 

1087m

Walked from the Upper Cableway Station to Maclear's Beacon this morning - the highest spot on Table Mountain. Not much to see there, just a pile of rocks and a fallen down trig beacon. But great views in all directions. And it was fabulous to be outside and in the sunshine.

~ A year ago today I was an owl ~ 

Other Side of False Bay

Beach visit at the Stand this morning. I didn't swim, but the others did. 

~ A year ago today I was reading Gone Girl ~

City Below

View from the top of Table Mountain. Snow on the mountains in the distance.

~ A year ago today I had super new books to read ~ 

Cableway

Four of us went up Table Mountain this morning (via the aerial cableway) and had a picnic up-top to celebrate B's birthday. Super! 

~ A year ago today I was having a bath ~  

Roiling Cloud

First strong south-easter of the season today. It looks pretty but it's cold, blustery and horrid.

~ A year ago today my arum lily was in bud ~

Bakoven

Another glorious day! Went down to Beta Beach for a dip, and wandered around Bakoven nearby. Maybe our new favourite swimming spot?!

~ A year ago today I was getting washing dry ~ 

Winter Garden

Kirstenbosch on a cloudy day. 

~ A year ago today my garden wall was lovely and green ~ 

Old Cape Town

I love this old pic of Cape Town (found here). And snow on the face of Table Mountain! 

~ A year ago today I was watching a nice movie ~ 

St James St, Vredehoek

I ran some errands after work today. It was a lovely afternoon.

~ A year ago today I was making chips ~ 

Clouds and Mountains

Another day of travelling. We flew over the Alps - twice! 

~ A year ago today I was preparing vegetables for my supper ~ 

Perspective

Today was another beautiful warm and still Autumn day. I hardly had time to notice though as I was so busy. But the sky made me stop for a moment and go 'wow'. 

~ A year ago today I had a few interesting books in my 'to read' pile ~

Another Beautiful Morning

A went to a friend's for breakfast this morning. He has a lovely garden and a super view across the city to the eastern side of Table Mountain. 

~ A year ago today I was watching the end of a favourite show ~ 

Three Towers

The Disa Park towers at the top of my suburb are so ugly! And what a strange orange light there was, late this afternoon. 

~ A year ago today today it was miserable ~ 

View from the Top

I took the Aerial Cableway up to the top of Table Mountain this evening. It was awesome!
~ A year ago today I was folding laundry ~ 

Hello Mountain

I spend a lot of time looking at this peak. I see it out of my office window, and always look up at it when I wait to turn at this intersection (which was three times today). Pretty cloud on it this afternoon.
~ A year ago today I was seeing a play ~ 

Fairview

My friend Dorothy lives in this street. Fantastic views of the mountain.
~ A year ago today I was giving my cat medicine ~ 

Peak

Once again we had a glorious day for our Kirstenbosch Christmas picnic. I spent much of the afternoon gazing on this view.
~ A year ago today I was also picnicking ~
