Picture Perfect Memories for life
Myriad memories frozen in time
Hi everyone,
Just some photo’s I took of the March Lilies in our garden when it bloomed in March 2019. I took it over a period of two weeks.
This year it was beautiful and kept blooming for a while. Looking forward to see them again in 2020….
Thank you for taking the time to look at my work.

Well it has been an absolute pleasure sharing our weekend at Berghoff Fynbos Farm with you all here on my blog.
Here’s a few more photo’s I took before heading back home…
We had a awesome time although on our way back home Mornè’s car broke. I would not recommend that you go to visit in a normal sedan. Normal cars are not made to withstand that bumpy road. Don’t get me wrong if the roads were in better condition even though it is a dirtroad I would surely visit more often. Unfortunately I do not have a 4×4 or a vehicle that can take the punch.
So to sum up the only reason at this stage that is keeping me from going back is the road. I am not afraid of dirt roads and I love driving on them but the damage and costs involved to fix your car is just too much.
The views on your way back are absolutely stunning….
Thank you for taking the time to look at my work and I look forward to sharing more of my travels with you.

On our walk back Lian just wanted to climb the rockformations. It was very hot and he did not have sufficient water with him. Also it is not safe to do it alone.
I continued taking photos of the beautiful landscapes, rockformations and flowers on the farm.
Lian did get to climb a rock and when he got back he told us that it was very hot near the rocks.
Thank you for taking the time to look at my work. Hope you are enjoying the walk on Berghoff Fynbos Farm with us.

During our walk we saw a “fountain” or so we thought anyway. When we got closer and saw the pipes on the ground we figured out that our “fountain” is just a broken pipe.
That did not stop us from taking advantage of it to cool down before we start walking again.
Desiree did not want to get wet and Dad and Armand dragged her in the water. She laughed so much it did not take them long before she was soaked. We had such a laugh.
I am very glad that my boys are so close with their Grandfather and both of them reminds me alot of my Father. They love playing tricks on people and can be very naughty in a good way of course.
Thank you for taking the time to look at my work. I truly hope you are enjoying our stay at Berghoff Fynbos Farm just as much as we did.

Rockformations is one of my weaknesses. I always try to see what it looks like. At Berghoff Fynbos Farm there was no shortage of different Rockformations…

A few years back a colleague told me that I am worth much more and that I must start believing in myself and my abilities as a photographer.
For me this is very difficult. I am my own worst critic and sometimes I feel like my photo’s are not good enough it can still improve.
Even after 10 years in the industry I am still learning new skills. Trying to better myself for my client’s and potential clients…
I do have a goal and that is to sell my nature photos online…. But the big question is what do I think I am worth?
Thank you for taking the time to look at my work. Feel free to comment or like my post.
Pink is a color between red and white on the color spectrum. The color got it’s name from a flower also called Pinks.
Pink is the color most often associated with charm, politeness, sensitivity, tenderness, sweetness, childhood, femininity and the romantic.
A combination of pink and white is associated with innocence.
We also wear a pink ribbon for Cancer awareness and here in South Africa National sport teams also wear pink for Cancer awareness.
I love pink, but I am not a big fan in wearing light colors. I would rather wear darker colors.
Thank you for taking the time to look at my post.
I took this photo on Saturday at my dear friend Louhn’s house. What a beauty.
On 26 May 2012 the finalists of the Winelands Winter Queen pageant held a High Tea in aid of The Cancer Association of South Africa or in short CANSA. The main focus of the morning was Breast Cancer.
On the morning of the High tea Sheryl Linda Long a breast cancer survivor came to share her story with us. What a remarkable woman. Her faith and will to live is just so heartwarming and I must admit she had me in tears.
One of my biggest fears are being diagnosed with the big C but I am very happy to know that there are hope and support out there.
Now for those of you that don’t know what CANSA does here is just a short explanation I got off their website. For more information please go and read all about them.
CANSA’s sole purpose is to lead the fight against cancer in South Africa. CANSA’s mission is to be the preferred non-profit organisation that enables research, educates the public and provides support to all people affected by cancer.
CANSA has more than 50 care centers all over South Africa. At these care centers they provide holistic care and support to patients diagnosed with cancer, cancer survivors and their loved ones.
I came across this quote also on the CANSA website:
“Cancer is not a death sentence, but rather it is a life sentence – it pushes one to live!” (Marcia Smith).
Here are just a few collages I made of the morning.
Today I had a very busy day. This morning I had a photo shoot at my home studio with the Kruger Family and later I had a on site photo shoot at the Pospech Family.
Both shoots was lots of fun but my Favorite photo of the day was of little Miss Chloë (4 months). My first photo of the shoot was a winner.Just look at that smile…
At long last I decided that my mom’s Anthurium Plant will be my photo of the day. My uncle gave the plant to my mom many many years ago.
Every year since she got it it’s blooming like mad and when they moved to us we thought now the plant is going to die because it had to be outdoors. But instead it went on and on and giving more and more lovely flowers.
It’s winter here in South Africa and color is always welcome on the cold and gloomy days.
