Weekly Winners : 5 - 11 April

Such a busy week with lots of photos ... from checking out Kevin's drums .....

.... and a guitar leaning against the wall ..

..... to the basket lady in Ian and Kathy's house ...
.... wondering if that rope is ever pulled ...


..... lots of empty bottles somewhere ....

... watching Ian drizzle chocolate sauce ...


... peeping through to see the little duckie paddling fast ...


... gazing at the most magnificent view of the Stellenbosch and Helderberg Mountains ...

.... and capturing the reflection in the water ...


..... back home again ... admiring a bunch of roses (called Cool Water) I bought for the house ...

... taking photos in and around my garden ...... this is a hosepipe 'guide' (stops the hosepipe from sliding over plants and squashing them) ...
... Canna bud ...
... aloe bud ...
... Tibouchina 'Jules' ...
... another aloe bud (Aloe Dewet II) ...


... 'Polygonum capitatum' - ground cover with tiny pink ball flowers..
... summer's last roses ... bud of Iceberg 'Brilliant' ...

... Blue statice ...


.... and ..... watching Bradley at his karate class demonstration ...
