203/365 – A detour up the hill

The traffic was insane this evening and I didn’t go my normal route home; AND I knew I was going to be too late to walk the dogs; AND the sun looked amazing, AND the sky was all murky… all those factors convinced me to take a small detour up Northcliff Hill before the sun set.

I have been wanting to get up there for months, to see if it was still gated, and whether I’d be able to do a shoot there.

I wasn’t disappointed… it’s stunning up there… although I didn’t feel safe enough wandering about on my own when the sun really got low… and in fact I missed the most amazing sunset because of my fear.  Anyhoo, I got some amazing photos anyway… and I’m going to go back… with someone in tow though.

I really like the second pic of the path with the sun. The sunsets up there are always a little better with the smoggyness around.

Lovely pics. Have some wonderful memories of that place. If you need a a safe and open vantage point for both the city and Sandton, let me know. World’s View has some great options. Would love to see what you can do with it at night and dawn/dusk.

193/365 – Images from the Park

Park photos again… this time I was very excited to find a sign of spring!! The protea tree I was taking a photo of, had new purple leaves:)

And it was such a beautiful sight to see, especially after walking in the icy icy icy cold weather!

174/365 – it’s my birthday

I’ve had a good birthday today.  Quiet… but good.

The stuff list on my other blog was just the trick, and I got a whole host of things from the list:)Because I didn’t get up to much apart from shopping and kids stuff and having dinner at my parents’ house, I thought I’d make today’s blog post with photos taken everywhere I went (apart from the shops)

My birthday actually started last night, when Madelein and her clan came over and we ordered take-away pizza from Colcacchios… that has to be the BEST take-away pizza we’ve ever had… and we managed to order wheat free pizza too!

I got so many compliments today about this perfume… even Connor told me that I smelt really nice:)

I finally, finally have something from Le Creussett

Oh and I just love these tulips that I got from my mom yesterday… and I just discovered the macro function on my new lens!!

I went to the opening of Tranquil Body Therapy at their market stall in Lifestyle Garden Centre… definitely buying stuff when I go there again tomorrow as I’ve discovered that Leigh-Ann’s (she owns it) kids creams are made without sulphur and sulphates!!   And the mens range looks quite good too.

Then it was dog walking time in the most beautiful golden light

And finally my mom’s famous chocolate cake…

158/365 – Joburg’s golden sunset

I went home a little early yesterday afternoon because of the kids, and used the opportunity to take the kids and puppies for a walk in the park.   There was the most amazing light, and even though I didn’t manage to get good photos of the dogs, I couldn’t resist grass and sunset shots!  The dogs were not easy to photograph today, as there was another husky taking a walk… and they just wanted to play… which is not the easiest thing in the world when you’re juggling dog on leash, and camera, and child.

We really do have beautiful sunsets at this time of year.
