After the day of mist and fog, we woke up on Saturday with the sun shining valiantly through the clouds. Excellent hiking weather; climbing a mountain in the blazing sun isn’t my idea of fun, especially since I am so pale I’m practically translucent, and I burn if I just look at the sun.
Aargh, LOOK at it. So fantastically beautiful!
Yep, the clouds were coming out in full force. But soon we were in a foresty bit and didn’t notice…
And then we turned a corner and saw THIS:
Now, a series with a donkey, just because I can.
I call this first one, “You Shall Not Pass.”
“No, seriously, I’m guarding this path.”
“Oh, all right. Not that it matters.” (he’s such an Eeyore)
I thought this guy was totally adorable. And I felt so bad for him because he was just covered in flies.
So naturally I decided he needed a nose rub to get rid of those pesky flies. Equally naturally, he decided to eat my jacket (don’t worry, no harm done).
I had my husband take these. Look at us, friends forever!
Or at least until we walked away and left him standing there looking depressed. Parting is such sweet sorrow.
I’ll leave you with these two, taken just on the outskirts of the Berg:
Clouds and pretty rolling hills. Oh yes.
Beautiful! Looks like you had an amazing time!
Absolutely gorgeous Kat! LOVE the first donkey shot
These photos–aah! I must come to South Africa!
May I say what an extremely good photographer you are? You’re amazing!
Great photos Kat. I too love the first shot of the donkey! I love the composition and the stairs leading up to him.
Kat, you have such an amazing eye for this photography. I wanted you to have a bride in almost every one of those pictures (even the goat ones! hehe)
These are truly gorgeous photos, and the landscape is incredible!
Lovin the composition on the donkey shot. fantastic!
Your landscape photos are amazing! I keep coming back to take a look again. Captivating!
what a gorgeous set! I can’t even begin to choose a fave. Nice work!
Lovin the donkey! I once knew two brothers and the older one always referred to the younger as “donkey” – when I asked why he said “Oh – hee haw, hee haw, hee h-always calls me that”. Boom boom.
Mwahaha!
wow, it’s absolutely amazing there. Happy anniversary guys – CONGRATS! I’m happy to see that you’re enjoying it to the fullest! And btw, love the donkey series – way too cute!
OMG I love the donkey shots!!!!!! So freaking cute. So jealous of where you live. Beautiful.
Well, this is a couple of hours from where I live! I’m sure you have mountains just as lovely in America!
Beautiful shots. I love the ones looking up at the trees – very epic.
this beautiful country of ours…
