Yesterday morning while taking a walk around Kings Beach Park, my eye caught this piece of graffiti at the top of the steps at the water feature. HELLO ALIENS along with pictures of a rainbow, pegasys, two unicorns and a bunch of butterflies. Does this mean that there are aliens walking among us or is it a welcome for an imminent arrival? Or are we just all aliens?
I went for a quick early morning walk around Kings Beach Park before work and got stuck at the water feature next to the lake trying to get a picture of both the waterfall and the lake without getting my work pants wet.
A week or two ago we spent a fabulous weekend in Kenton-on-Sea on Route 72 on the Sunshine Coast. The main reason for being there was to get away for a few days and we made good use of the opportunity to explore the stunning piece of coastline between the mouths of the Bushmans and Kariega rivers. While there both Drama Princess and I did what we enjoyed, snapped away at pictures. The only difference was that she was doing…
A bench ideal for contemplation. The difference between this one and others with similar views is that you don't have to hike for an hour to get to it to enjoy it. It's located next to the Baakens Valley on the corner at the bottom of 2nd Avenue and Fordyce Road in Walmer
Regular Port Elizabeth Daily Photo follower Gerhard Burger sent me this picture last week. Isn't that just the perfect winters afternoon in the Bay?

Port Elizabeth is very quickly getting a reputation as a good food destination with visiting bloggers and journalists raving about the variety and quality of restaurants and food markets available around the city in their articles. Now I'm not food expert although I am known to enjoy a good steak / pizza / chop and braaibroodjie / plate of home cooked food / cinnamon and sugar pancake / or > insert whatever food here< on occasion. I'm not the judgmental…

Somebody thought it may be a good idea to attache a GoPro to the bell before it went up and thus we can all join it as it got hoisted back up.
Not a lot of non-twitchers would know that the Swartkops River estuary is one of the best places around Port Elizabeth for bird watching. It is home to a huge amount of estuarine and water birds and the ideal spot to tick off a few feathered friends from your bird list.
