Succulent flowers
I have succulents like these in my rock garden but it was great to find this patch in Settlers Park a few week ago. They make for a nice ground cover and is beautiful with their pink flowers.

St Georges Bridge
Probably one of my favorite spots in St Georges Park. The railway sleeper bridge near the Pearson Conservatory. I should look under it one day to see if there is a troll that lives there.

Skateboarding at Kings Beach
https://youtube.googleapis.com/v/auZ7jjzlpo4&source=udsI was looking for a video on YouTube to post for what has become the regular Friday video feature and stumbled on this vid posted by Kings Beach Skateboarding and filmed and edited by Rieyaad Saban. It shows a couple of local skateboarders doing their thing at the skate park at Kings Beach.

Roesemaat
Nieu-Bethesda in the Karoo is one of those interesting little towns that one just can't afford to miss. Home to the Owl House, Kitching Fossil Centre, guesthouses, restaurants, a micro brewery and so much more yet the town (or should I perhaps call it a village?) doesn't have a petrol station, atm or even a tar road. Every corner offers something new or interesting or, in this case, old and interesting.

Fishing boats in the harbour
Standing at the top of the Campanile one tends to wonder how many have never seen the views from up here. I can understand somebody who is unable to climb for whatever reason not to go to the top, but most others who have never been there is probably to some degree just too lazy to take the 204 steps to the top.

I was hoping to post some flowers in celebration of spring but unfortunately had non on hand.

Karoo hotel – a bit of a thorny issue
A trip up to Nieu-Bethesda a week or so ago gave me the opportunity to detour into the little village of Wolwefontein between Uitenhage and Jansenville. There really wasn't that much to see but the old hotel sign behind a sweet thorn tree made for an interesting photograph.
