Vegetable garden

I needed a distraction from the PrettyUglys so we decided to make a vegetable garden. Not the half-baked effort of last year, ha ha. We have been out every morning before work this week and now it is ready. We are just waiting for the cold snap that is expected this weekend to be over and then we will start planting. It looks like its in the shade but remember, my darling, that the sun travels south for the summer.

Comes back later when it is dead.

Groenkloof Nature Reserve

Only minutes from the city centre. A moment to relax and breathe. Thanks for the morning, I really needed the break.

FNB Joburg Art Fair 2014

I apologise for the lights, glares and flares on some of the images. I took mostly close-ups of the artwork.

Flasher

I made this sign at work. I watch people in the traffic and pick a person that I think would enjoy the message. The best reaction I have had was the first time I flashed someone. His whole face lit up and he put his hands together and said thank you. If I made his day, he certainly made mine.

This and that – winter edition

one - a wall waiting for spring. two - detail of a fabulous Deborah Bell painting at the Turbine Hall. three - flowers in my therapy room. four - a sliver from my palm tree that was cut down. Have sealed it and am going to hang it on the wall. five - I made this stencil to put onto my tiles but I don't like the green colour after all. six - I like the contrast.
