Orb Web Spider
Usually I post about places or buildings or monuments. Today I'm posting a spider. A golden orb web spider I encountered in a wild fig tree in Uitenhage.

Fishing on the Wildside
This guy stood out on the rocks at Willows fishing for ages. I would never be able to do that. Just don't have the patience for it.

Celebrating 1000 finds
Two weeks ago during the Port Elizabeth geocachers' Welgelegen Camp getaway I had the privilege to log my 1000th find.
