π΅ Waterfall π΅ by Chris Tomlin
βYour love is like a waterfall, waterfall
Running wild and free
You hear my heart when I call, when I call
Deep calls to deep
Your love is like a waterfall, waterfall
Raining down on me
Waterfall, waterfallβ
I fell my ass off at this waterfall. My ass is still sore today, although there are improvements in the ass area.
Have a great day everyone.

π‘ Be the Light π‘
Be the reason someone smiles.
Be the reason someone feels loved.
Be the reason someone is grateful.
Be the reason someone is happy.
Be someoneβs light and they will find the way.
This was taken just south of the town of Hogsback. We were on the way to the sea and just as we turned of the main road, we discovered this abandoned building. I think the lighting is just amazing in this set!
Have a great day everyone!

π In the Sun π
βA sunny disposition is worth more than fortune. Y0ung people should know that it can be cultivated; that the mind like the body can be moved from the shade into sunshine.β
β Andrew Carnegie
This was taken on our way home on one of our tours. It is close to the little town of Pella, in the Namaqualand area. The night before we slept on the ground because the inflatable matrass had a hole π². But we survived the night!
The Quiver tree or Kokerboom, is a tall, branching species of succulent plant, indigenous to Southern Africa, specifically in the Northern Cape region of South Africa, and parts of Southern Namibia.
The quiver tree gets its English common name from the San peopleβs practice of hollowing out the tubular branches of the tree to form quivers for their arrows. Medicinally, the roots can be used to treat asthma and tuberculosis.
Have a great evening everyone.

πHappy Mondayπ
An early morning at our favorite picnic spot near us. I wish I knew how many time we had a beer and some food at this spot. It is under some big trees with lots of shade. But as some of you might remember, we can't go back because of criminal activity there now.

May the week ahead be

I will be on a family camp this weekend and wonβt be able to post. I will try and post again on Sunday night, depending on what time I get home. Iβm really sorry about that.

β° Throwback Thursday π
I was only 18 years old when this photo was taken. Looking back at the old photos, it seem that I did have a βmodellingβ streak in me even then! πππ

π Waterfall Rainbows π
This was Forest Falls in Sabie. We arrived in the morning, late I have to admit and the sun was completely in the wrong position. So we drove around all day, with the idea of trying again in the afternoon.
We arrived back at the falls late in the afternoon. The sun was perfect, the falls was perfect, our mood was perfect. But there was another vehicle there π²!!! NOT perfect π! But we made a cunning plan. We will wait them out! Man, we are clever some days π!
So while our plan was in effect, we took some photos around the falls where we were hidden from them. It went well...until...
There was a flaw in our cunning plan! They were not leaving and the sun was! Our plan was falling apart, or rather, approaching the horizon! As we were discussing alternatives to our (not so) cunning plan, a man arrived at the truck! He wanted to borrow some napkins. We gave him some napkins and then I did something I never thought I would do. Never! Ever!
I told him that I was going to be in the water topless and if he and his partner would mind. Of course he said they wouldnβt mind, duh! And so they became the first spectators to a Nonnie photoshoot! In the beginning it felt a bit awkward, but as the shoot went on I started to enjoy it π²! Me, the shy woman enjoying it π²!! It felt like I was doing a stage performance for them ππ!
But we got the shoot done. It felt great, refreshing and cool in the water. And I discovered Iβm a bit of an exhibitionist π!

π At the End of the day... π
...you may not be a goddess or a queen
No movie star, no actress on the screen
There's silver in your hair, your dresses have no flair
But you haven't lost your heart of gold
The silky skin you had in bygone days
Is wrinkled now, for care has lined your face
No diamonds in your hair and not a pearl to wear
When you're out, there's no one there to stop and stare
But you're my number one
π΅ My Number One - BZN π΅
Everyone following me here is my number ONE. Thank you so much.
Have a good night.

π At the End of the Day... π
...we donβt know what tomorrow will bring,
and the only thing we have is...
right now.
Donβt stay mad.
Learn to forgive.
Stay true, be you.

But I don't recognise the girl there
Eyes bright with curly, purple hair

I heard he's doing good and she's doing better
Damn, sometimes it is difficult to find something that fits the photos!
Have a great day everyone.

π΅ SITTING IN A TREE - Jessie Dipper π΅
Iβm sitting in this tree,
listening to the birds,
and thereβs no place Iβd rather be,
to scribe my mindβs words.
Iβm found emotions are ok,
Iβm only human,
And for that Iβll say,
that hurtingβs not a new one.
Iβm feeling like a pilgrim,
On a quest,
A vagabond, just travelling,
from times that bereft.
Like leaves turn brown,
And branches, green,
Thereβll come a time when,
all will be, finally clean.
Yeah, Iβm sitting in this tree,
My mind full of madness,
And I still canβt really see,
but Iβm feeling the gladness.

π΅ Broken Car - Matisyahu π΅
Welcome to my broken car
It don't move fast but it goes so far
Though you might bang your head or scrape your toes
Fred Flintstone with my feet on through the holes
But don't you worry now, don't you worry
Cause it will get you there
Where you need to go
==============
But not this car I guess!! π ππ€£

π€π€A world without Colorπ€π€ by Marc Ortiz
Living in the shadows of the people around me
My memories that were beautiful in my eyes
Are slowly fading into a colorless world.
I wonder why everything around me is dying...
My friends are drifting away from me
Some said a sorrowful 'Goodbye'
But not everyone is like that; most of them
Just disappeared like the smile on my face....

There's an angel in a blue dress
Riding in my car

There's a goddess in the doorway
Asking how much, how much can I take
And it looks like she's heading my way

Little hut that is no more
How I miss you so
I've stand many time in your door
Dreaming about the coming of my hero
Little hut that is no more
Here we had such good times
But you've become an eyesore
All that is left is yestertimes
- Nonnie
Our little hut on the Nel's Hoogte nature reserve. Got there one day and it was gone. Somebody decided to destroy the hut. It always bring me to the phrase my mother used to say: "You can never again go home." That meant that if you go back, either the place have changed, or you have changed. It will never be like you remembered.

Our little waterfall in Magoebaskloof. It is small, but is is one of our favorites. We haven't been there in a while. It sure is time to go again.
Raining down on me

π² Better Days π³
If you feel like youβre losing everything,
Remember that trees lose their leaves every year,
But still they stand tall and proud,
Waiting for better days,
That they know will come.

A Windy Throwback Thursday
βThe pessimist complains about the wind;
The optimist expects it to change;
The realist adjusts the sails.β
- William Arthur Ward
I just sit or stand and enjoy the wind. This was on our way to Cape Town in 2009, some 13 years ago π². We drove down for 3 days, enjoying some amazing scenery and seeing a lot of beautiful places.
And photos like this is what you get if your husband gets impatient and just wants to take photos. He doesnβt care about the wind, he doesnβt care about how the photos look, he doesnβt care about hair in my face...π² He just wants to see my boobs next to the road πππ!!!
Think Iβm joking? In those days he just wanted to take photos. Lots of them. Anywhere, everywhere, any time, any conditions! But he got is out of his system and has mellowed over the years π.
Have a great day everyone!

A prequel to tomorrow.
This was in 2009, 13 years ago. We were traveling to Cape Town. Via dirt roads of course. This was a ruin in a little town. In those days we didn't have GPS to pinpoint where the photos were taken. So I've got no idea what this town was called. We only took a few photos before nosy people came looking.
It took us 3 days to get to Cape Town. The first day we traveled to Bethulie. On the day we took these photos we were traveling to Graaff-Reinet where we stayed the night. It was actually a very nice trip.
Tomorrow I will post some more photos of this day...a very windy day!
Have a great night everyone.

Huge trees in a forest near Louis Trichardt. It was really stunning there and the forest is amazing. I would love to go back there one day.
πΊ Something Nice π»
Sometimes it only takes one person,
to say something nice,
to remind us that everything is going...
...TO BE OKAY.
- adapted from Roger Lee
This is a ruin in Sabie we visited on our last trip there. We love this ruin, but this time it was completely overgrown. We did the best we could, but didn't stay long here. The last photo is an older photos just to show the complete ruin.
Have a great day everyone!

Hello darkness my old friend
Iβve come to talk with you again
- "The Sound Of Silence" - Simon & Garfunkel
Not even a Blue Monday today. Itβs a Black Monday when you go to sleep in darkness and wake up in darkness.
Last night the power went of at 8pm and was only scheduled to go on again at midnight. So we went to bed π. This morning, the power went off again at 4am. So when I woke just after 4 am, it was still dark π²! I don't know how long this will go on, but it is so irritating!
I hope all of you here had a great weekend.
I hope all of you here have a great day.
