Aspidistra Nursery is one of my favorite places to visit. Every time I visit I see something new.
My favorite part of the visit to Aspidistra is visiting the tea room for a refreshing cup of tea and a Milk Tart Cupcake…. Yummee

I cannot believe that more than a year ago my parents and I started planning our holiday…. Unfortunately my husband won’t be joining us on this adventure but I am feeling very blessed to have this opportunity to spend time with my parents and my two wonderful boys.
My aim on this holiday is to visit and photograph as many little towns as possible…. Dad made a 15 page tour description of all the little towns on our circle route. I will be trying to post from my phone if I have reception.
We leave Kraaifontein on 1 July 2015 and will be travelling about 960 km Kimberley. On 2 July we will visit Kimberley big hole and if we have time I want to visit a small town not far from here.
On 3 July we will be leaving for Bakubung in the Pilanesberg. This trip will be approx 740 km. We will be staying here for a few days. Visiting Sun City and a few towns surrounding Pilanesberg.
We will be leaving very early on the 10th of July because we have to cover 1264 km to Aberdeen where
we will be staying the night. On this route there is allot of small towns and I will not be able to visit them all, so we will have to see what towns we will be stopping by. Affordable Accommodation was a problem and Aberdeen was the only place left who could accommodate us.
The 11th we will head back home via Route 62. We will be covering another 705 km on our last day.
The boys and I are ready and everything is packed. My camera and batteries was first on the list of things to pack. I am super excited and cannot wait. I am literally counting the hours. Tomorrow is going to be extra long…
Looking forward to sharing all the photo’s and stories with you. I am going to keep a log and will write in it every evening so that I don’t forget anything. My boys are growing up very fast and time spend with them and my parents are very special to me.

I visited Aspidistra again. WOW this nursery really inspires one and it awakens one’s creative side. This time my dad came with us to explore the nursery and get some ideas on decorating and recycling…

Clanwilliam was our last stop before heading home. It was starting to get late and also the weather changed drastically. It started raining and we could not wait to get home…
Just outside Van Rhyns Dorp we stopped again for photo’s after having lunch at a little art studio. Unfortunately I was not allowed to take photo’s there.
We came across this nest with a feathered friend and her chick. I cannot say what kind of bird it is.
As we enter the Western Cape at the bottom of the Van Rhyns Pass there is a abandoned little Farm stall. Wait we are not finished yet these are the last photo’s taken around the Farm Stall…..
The most precious gift from God to me… My Mother….

As we enter the Western Cape at the bottom of the Van Rhyns Pass there is a abandoned little Farm stall. As we came down the Pass you just saw flowers and before my father could say stop I was already thinking first available safe stop I am stopping…. WOW we had a great time photographing all the plants and flowers. I totally forgot about time and after 45 minutes my mom said she thinks we better be heading home now… We tried to limit our stops to around 10 – 15 minutes but here we just could not stop capturing God’s given treasures to us…. I am so Blessed to have the opportunity to spend so much time capturing His gift to us an the best of all I can share the experience with my Mother and Father. I love them to bits.
On our way home from Nieuwoudtville to Kraaifontein. As soon as we saw a field of flowers we stopped to take some photographs of it. One cannot believe how many different wildflowers grows in a square meter. I had a field day on the way home.

Waterfall a few kilometers outside Nieuwoudtville
It was time to hit the long road home again. Next time I am spending much more time in Nieuwoudtville there is so much to see…

The views and Flora was spectacular. A overcast day made it even more beautiful.

We wanted to visit the two nature reserves in Nieuwoudtville, but not either was suited for sedan vehicles at that stage due to the heavy rains… The host at the art gallery told us about the waterfall on route to Loeriesfontein so we headed there instead. I tried capturing it from all angles…

Dirk van der Westhuizen is a very talented singer/songwriter from Pretoria. He had everybody on their feet dancing during his performance. To be honest I was exhausted just looking at him jumping up and down on stage… Sooo much energy….
He wrote his first song at age 12. In 2012 Dirk shot to fame when he recorded his South African version of the Gangnam Style. He received millions of hits on You Tube.
Here some of the photo’s taken of her at the Sonskynfees.
I met and photographed Wynand and Cheree for the first time in 2007 at the Varingfees with my little Pentax camera. Since then I have had the honor of capturing them on more than one occasion. These two artists has got hearts of gold.
This duo couple have a very full live. They are blessed with two beautiful daughters and both have their separate singing/songwriting careers also. Little Taylor-Hope joined her mommy on stage at the Sonskynfees. She stole many hearts with her performance.
For more information on Wynand and Cheree please visit their websites. Cheree , Wynand and lastly the duo’s Facebook Page Wynand and Cheree
Here are some of the photo’s taken of her at the Sonskynfees.
