To me the Red Winged Starlings eating Syringa berries in the tree outside the Cape Mental Health Society as I cross the railway bridge in Obs have the feeling of a child’s story book illustration. Especially when there’s a whole bunch of these super-smart black starlings among the yellow berries. Just a really pretty winter scene on the way to breakfast @hello_sailor_bistro on Lwr Main. Oh. This is a girl Starling btw. You can tell by the grey head. The boy’s is shiny black.
A classic rain-drenched Cape Town winter is cold and inconvenient. But now we can really appreciate it as we read how the dam levels are rising all the time.
And now it’s belting again.
After four years of drought it takes mere days to get annoyed by the inconvenience of a proper Cape Town winter. But when it does clear enough to walk to the shops it can get really pretty.
Folks. @hello_sailor_bistro now has this game! Who’s up for it? @sophdex @withoutaleaf @sad_ivan ?
On Station Road a minute ago waiting for my tacos locos. I can recommend. Maybe not actually locos, but plenty tasty.
The City of Cape Town keeping our rivers healthy by removing the build up of alien plants.
It’s a new Observatory generation down at the Two Rivers Park. Egyptian Geese (in truth they’re ducks) and their fuzzy new brood.
Or this one?
The pretty lady. I wanted to show off @withoutaleaf’s latest lilac hair. But my high contrast background concept doesn’t show it off that well. But I still like the pic. Or is the next one better?
