Mossy log

Caterpillars
Time for a "Random ..." theme post again. Today's post is on Random Caterpillars (or worms. Whatever you want to call the first two) We have had a bunch of these hairy spiky critters around the office building lately. They turn into the Garden Acraea Butterfly later on in their lives.

“For the love of the game” Art soccer balls

Horse Memorial Silhouette
For a while now I've wanted to get down to the Horse Memorial here in Port Elizabeth to get a nice silhouette sunset shot. Well, the other night I had my chance. It wasn't the most painted sunset sky, but I love the effect.

Information lifeguard
No, this isn't The Hoff sitting on his lifeguard chair on Baywatch. Anybody needing information about the 2010 FIFA World Cup, the Fan Fest programme, transport details or anything else on the event can go to the guys sitting on their high chairs around the Fan Fest. On those cold windy days I actually feel sorry for these guys as it's been quite chilly on some occations.
