These two photos were taken Monday, 13 July around 10 o'clock South African time.
This is an open field near our home. Normally dry land, now a small dam.
The Berg River on Monday morning.
Only a few days before we watched this Cape Weaver bird built its nest in our garden. His wife was sitting a branch or two away keeping an eye on the nest building process.
An amazing home for a bird pair to raise their little ones. And he only uses his beak to tear the leaves of the palm tree into strips and weave the nest.
I am extremely delighted with my aestlight shawl. Pattern from http://shetlandtrader.blogspot.com
The yarn I used is Sublime (kid mohair blend) - the only fingering weight yarn I could find in our neighbouring town. I am quite pleased with the outcome, it has a lacy effect.
