I have been absent from Steemit for a few days... withdrawal symptoms were severe. I had my mobile wifi with the intention to blog on each evening... but alas alack there was no signal in the area I was. So here just a short (mostly photo's)post to ease some of the withdrawal symptoms.
Bales of wheat….resembling alien droppings strewed across the countryside
We headed towards the south western cape to a small town called Bonnievale. Along the way we saw many birds … as well as while at the Breede River
Pied Starling with breakfast in mouth.
Apologies for the quality of some of the photographs as these were taken from a motor car.

Ten kilometres outside Bonnievale we had rented a log cabin for a couple of days. The weather was rainy with a strong south westerly wind blowing.
The deck outside the cabin, built on a huge tree
Below is a picture of the Breede River from which we were hoping to catch some dinner
trying to tempt some bass
while this Egyptian Goose cruises down the river, not a care in the world
and the Cape BulBul grooms himself …. Just in case of a chance encounter with a female
No luck with the bass or anything else for that matter. So popped into town for some chicken livers to at least have some sport
Catfish… shoot and release.. and these at least kept us entertained
Next morning early up to a splendid calm, sunny day. Below this picture taken perhaps 20 minutes before sunrise
Sitting on the tree deck drinking coffee enjoying the peace and quiet and beautiful scenery
just before sunrise…. river is clear
and the mist rises as the air warms
The rest of the time we just read books and let the stress of the city fade away!!
Note: All photo's taken by myself on this trip
I feel so much better now, having re-entered Steem world. I still need to complete the Otter Trail posts, as well as time to once again feature a music legend. My follow up on the Bokashi experiment is due, I took some photo's this morning so will be posting that soon. Thanks for reading and consider following my random blog ...
