I noticed how this property had changed a few weeks ago, and stopped on Beyers Naude Drive today to take photos. It used to be a plant nursery. These 2 buildings were probably staff quarters and have been abandoned, but the main house has now got squatters in it (who were watching me very curiously. I didn’t feel threatened by them at all).
OMW did I have fun though, I want to go back there when I’m not wearing a LBD and high heels to take more shots :)

I love this picket fence next to the ruin, it’s so out of place.

I bought a bunch of lilacy purple tulips from a florist yesterday. They’re absolutely beautiful, but oh man, were they difficult to photograph… I just can’t get the colours to come out, and when I do, the shot is boring.

Having fun with the contrasting in Photoshop
The colour is close in this photo, but I don’t like the shot.

I absolutely adore this shot, but they look pink!

And my favourite shot of all, even though the flower looks pink! I played around with the flash.

We took the boys to Lanseria airport, just outside Randburg, today to watch the planes. Connor is fascinated with planes flying over the house, so we thought that he would enjoy it… and he did.
We had breakfast at Wings restaurant in the terminal building. It was a lovely meal and the setting is perfect… on the viewing deck… and they have a jumping castle for the kids.
So the boys were in their element, running between the jumping castle and the viewing windows.. which meant that Lance and I had to keep lifting them up to see planes land and take-off. LOL!

Excuse the shadows… I took the photo through the viewing glass.

I haven’t taken part in this challenge in a while, and I noticed my strelitzias starting to flower today… sooo I just had to take some pics… especially when I noticed the weird looking bud!
