One of the joys of Mossel Bay, our new home town, is the proximity of our house to the broad band of coastal fynbos that separates the estate we live in from the rugged coastline running along this part of the southern Cape.
A short walk of a few minutes takes one into a world of tiny flowers in an expanse of heath-like bushes and although my primary aim is usually to see what birdlife is present, the setting sun this afternoon enticed me to try my hand at some more ‘arty’ photos, using my trusty iphone.
Here are some of the results
On closer inspection of the above photo I noticed that the flower was draped in spider’s web which shows up better in this cropped version
Brilliant photographs! Sorry no birds for you this time, yet you have captured another of nature’s wonders.
Thanks for the lovely comment!
Love the little white flowers.
They are a delight when in bloom at this time of year – one name is Cape Snow – at a distance it can look like snow on top of the shrubs
Amazing beauty surrounds us if only we look. Your photos are stunning.
So true – I am always surprised that others don’t notice the beauty as I do
With such a beautiful new neighbourhood I am hoping you will be treating us to more of your experiments soon, Don!
That’s a strong probability as it changes constantly with the seasons and time of day so the opportunities keep arising
