The last light reflecting off the clouds after sunset rides the wine-dark Indian Ocean waters.

@furiousgreencloud learns the art of birding the old fashioned way - with a big-ass fieldguide and a pair of West German binoculars. We were visiting her aunt Sharon at her house on a beautiful farm outside Moreesburg. I’m not much of a birder but I hopefully conveyed some of the basics.

Getting stoked for the first @krakatoa_band show of the year. @thestripedhorsemuizenberg is such a baller spot to hang out in the summer afternoon - surfers drifting in and out from the beach, comfy chairs, craft beers and cetera.

This struck me as the most South African weekend scene I can imagine - from the end of World War II to today, kids hanging out getting treats on the weekend.

@furiousgreencloud contemplates the sunlight leaving Africa for the Americas with a seagull at Storms River Mouth.

A boat heading into the sunset - a rather tedious metaphor for mortality.

I’m having one of my oldest and dearest friends, @furiousgreencloud, to stay. It’s always been too long. I’m having a knee issue so we took the cable car up and skulked among the fynbos on a beautiful windless evening atop the mountain.

Winter caught us on the way to the Striped Horse where they’ve got a fire going in January.

This little dude was super bored out to lunch and was amusing himself by playing a game with @withoutaleaf which involved squishing his nose against the glass. When he actually licked it his people thought maybe it was time to intervene. May he carry his eccentricity with him through life.

The braaimaster of the day. Tanya decided she was going to leave the souties to handle the braaiing. Astonishingly we actually had edible food without burning the place to the ground. But it’s still usually better to leave the fire to Afrikaaners who know what they’re doing.
