It is a grey and rainy morning on the road. We woke up this morning in Gonzales, TX with the sound of rain on the roof.
Woke up with the sound of raindrops falling on the roof.
I am genuinely grateful for the rain. Everything gets a thorough wash. For the people on the road please stay safe and drive careful.
Thank you for your ongoing support.

PS. I am saving up for upcoming Landscape Photography Trips to Scotland and Namibia and a few road trips in the USA, including Route 66 and The historic Apache Trail. Also on my list are National Parks and Botanical gardens in South Africa, the UK, and the USA.
The most important photography trip for me is to return to Scotland. I am honoring my promise to my Father to return and capture the beautiful landscapes and the elusive Puffins. Your help to make these trips a reality would be much appreciated in today’s economy.
I hope you had a peaceful night’s rest. I slept like a log.
We had another beautiful sunrise this morning. We got up around 5:40 this morning to hit the road.
I am truly blessed to have the opportunity to see all these beautiful sunrises and sunsets while on the road.
My wish is that someday I will have the opportunity to capture these beautiful sunrises and sunsets with my camera and put it in a book or even a calendar.

I am doing great thank you, we are on the road again. Today I greet you from Cameron, TX.
It is a lovely, crisp morning here in Cameron, TX. I am truly grateful for another day here in Texas. I love it here and can’t wait to learn more about the small towns’ history.
I have a few projects lined up for 2024. I look forward to sharing it with you.

I woke up just after 6 o’clock this morning looked outside and saw it was still dark. So I got back in bed and had no problem falling asleep again.
I left the curtain open and woke up with the sun peeping through the leaves on the trees. The birdsong this morning was so beautiful.
I started thinking about the seasons and the changes here in our garden and our surroundings.
Good morning sunshineView from my bed
Winter:
When I first arrived here in Byers in January, the trees were bare and the grass was brown. I did not see any wildflowers but I was not really focused on spotting any.
Spring:
I left in March, and the trees just started getting new leaves, and the grass was green. Wildflowers were coming up everywhere. Unfortunately I left before they were in full bloom.
Summer:
I returned in June again and everything was still beautiful and green. Different Wildflowers was showing off their beauty. The weather was humid and hot.
Then the dry heat came in the middle op July and the grass turned brown, but the trees gave us shade to enjoy the outdoors.
Autumn:
The grass was dead until the first heavy rain at the end of September then it started to turn green again. By the end of October the leaves on the trees started turning different shades of yellow, brown, orange and lighter greens. I also spotted different wildflowers.
I love how green the grass and shrubs is at the moment. The trees are busy throwing off their leaves and one of these days they will be bare again. The grass will turn brown again in the winter.
My brain is working over time. I have so many projects lined up that I will be swamped in 2024… Wildflowers, Landscapes, visiting small towns here in the USA. Editing backlog of photos. I am working on my South African flower book and wall calendars for 2025.
Well I better get going.

Welcome to November and all the new adventures she has entailed for us.
Well, as you all know, October was supposed to be the month I was supposed to learn all about harvesting, but like I always say, the path of our lives is not always what we want it to be.
Instead of capturing Kansas landscapes, I am off exploring and adding more towns to my photography list. Enjoying every minute traveling and seeing the beautiful landscapes.
Sometimes while on the road I wish I can stop and capture the beautiful scenes, but time is money and there is no time to waste. One too long stop can make a difference of being on time to load or unload before closing time. If you don’t make it on time you have to sit for up to 15 hours in a truck stop, along the road or on the premises if there is parking.
I have taken so many photos with my eyes that my brain can’t process them all. I hope that someday I can capture them with my camera. I do take pictures on the road with my cellphone and my camera, but as we all know, the quality is not as good as an adequately composed photo with a tripod and all the correct settings.
Waiting to loadBeautiful sunrise
While on the road, we talk a lot about plans for the future, and as exciting as it sounds, I know all too well that the Universe will dictate when and where. But I am optimistic that all our dreams will come true, and the ventures we want to undertake will need a substantial sum of Capital.
I am trying to save money for my Route 66 Road and Scotland trip. It is going very slow at the moment. I have to sell some photos to fund these two road trips.
Scotland will be very expensive, but I have been dreaming and thinking about it a lot lately. My heart is broken because I will not be sharing the experience with my Dad. I promised him that I would go, and I keep my promises.
Not to worry, I will make a plan, and as in the past, there will be a solution to my problem. All I have to do is look for the clues the universe leaves me.
That is all for now, friends. Have a wonderful day and keep safe.
Beautiful Autumn day on the road.
Thank you for your ongoing support.

We had a very early morning. We woke up at 2:45 to leave for Oklahoma City after about four hours of sleep. We arrived at a truck stop around 6:30 and went to bed again until 7:30. The place where w unloaded this morning only opened at 8:00 .
I took this photo while we were driving on the highway with my camera.
From the back of my Camera…
It looks like it is going to be a warm day. Waiting to hear where we are going to next…

Good morning everyone, I hope you all had a peaceful nights rest.
We are on the road again. I have not taken many photos the past two days. Monday we were very busy. Monday evening we saw that the truck is leaking coolant.
Yesterday we drove from the one garage to the other to find someone to fix the leak. We tried to fix it but the leak was at the bottom of a bracket and needed to be welded.
After many phone calls I decided to look for welders in the area and found one not far from us.
The welder at Blacksmith Welding had no problem helping us and did an impeccable job. We left at 13:00, and only then did our working day start….

About two hours after my post was published last Monday, we received the news that our harvest was over.
I was disappointed at first, but then realised that I have so much to be grateful for.
I had the opportunity to test myself on an eight-hour-long road trip here in the USA. I loved every second of it and saw beautiful landscapes, and added a few towns to my Travel Bucket list.
I had the opportunity to photograph part of one of the towns on my Travel Bucket list. The other part I will do on my Route 66 Road trip.
I learned much about harvesting and how the combines and grain carts work. I am sad I did not have the opportunity to drive the grain cart but all things happens for a reason.
I had the opportunity to drive the big truck and pull the fuel trailer when we moved to a new cornfield.
We returned home on Tuesday morning and resumed our normal day-to-day routine.

I drove from Byers, Texas, to Wiona, Kansas on Thursday morning to join Christo on harvest.
I can honestly say that so far I am finding it very interesting and I am learning a lot.
There is a chance I will learn a few new skills during my time here. I am super excited about it and can’t wait to share my adventures with all of you.

On the Inner Hebridean Isle of Skye are two spectacular sights visible from the same observation point on the Trotternish Peninsula.
One is the magnificent 90-meter Kilt Rock, which looks strikingly similar to a pleated kilt. Made up of basalt columns resting on a sandstone base, one might even say that the colors of the rock formation appear almost tartan.
The other point of interest is the Mealt waterfall, fed from nearby Mealt Loch, which plummets from the top of the cliffs to the rock-laden coast below.
Beyond these visual treats, the site also has an aural element. When a strong wind is blowing while one observes the sights, a beautiful yet haunting tone appears from the surrounding area.
Disguised, the instrument emitting the eerie noise is the fencing surrounding the lookout point. Holes facing the sea allow wind into the piping, turning the safety feature into an organ to accompany the breathtaking views off the northeastern coast of Skye.

The other point of interest is the Mealt waterfall, fed from nearby Mealt Loch, which plummets from the top of the cliffs to the rock-laden coast below.
Beyond these visual treats, the site also has an aural element. When a strong wind is blowing while one observes the sights, a beautiful yet haunting tone appears from the surrounding area.
Disguised, the instrument emitting the eerie noise is the fencing surrounding the lookout point. Holes facing the sea allow wind into the piping, turning the safety feature into an organ to accompany the breathtaking views off the northeastern coast of Skye.

PS. I am saving up for upcoming Landscape Photography Trips to Scotland and Namibia and a few road trips in the USA, including Route 66 and The historic Apache Trail. Also on my list are National Parks and Botanical gardens in South Africa, the UK, and the USA.
The most important photography trip for me is to return to Scotland. I am honoring my promise to my Father to return and capture the beautiful landscapes and the elusive Puffins. Your help to make these trips a reality would be much appreciated in today’s economy.

Staffin (Scottish Gaelic: Stafain) is a district with the Gaelic name An Taobh Sear, which translates as “the East Side,” on the northeast coast of the Trotternish peninsula of the island of Skye.
It is located on the A855 road about 17 miles (27 kilometers) north of Portree and is overlooked by the Trotternish Ridge with the famous rock formations of The Storr and the Quiraing.
The district comprises 23 townships made up of, from south to north, Rigg, Tote, Lealt, Lonfearn, Grealin, Breackry, Cul-nan-cnoc, Bhaltos, Raiseburgh, Ellishadder, Garafad, Clachan, Garros, Marrishader, Maligar, Stenscholl, Brogaig, Sartle, Glasphein, Digg, Dunan, Flodigarry and Greap.
The Kilmartin River runs northwards through the village. From where it reaches the sea, a rocky shore leads east to a slipway at An Corran. Here a local resident found a slab bearing a dinosaur track, probably made by a small ornithopod. Experts subsequently found more dinosaur prints of up to 50 cm, the largest found in Scotland, made by a creature similar to Megalosaurus. At about 160 million years old, they are the youngest dinosaur remains to be found in Scotland. A Mesolithic hunter-gatherer site dating to the 7th millennium BC at An Corran is one of the oldest archaeological sites in Scotland. Its occupation is probably linked to that of the rock shelter at Sand, Applecross, on the coast of Wester Ross.
In the modern era, this part of Skye retains a strong Gaelic identity, with 61 percent of the local population recorded as speaking the language in 2001. In September 2010, Comunn na Gàidhlig named Staffin as their “Gaelic Community of the Year” in the first year this competition ran.
The Highland Council announced the launch of a consultation into a plan to convert the local primary into a Gaelic medium school. This would be the second such conversion in Scotland after Bun-sgoil Shlèite. Only 5 out of the school’s thirty pupils have English as their only language, with the remainder being bilingual English and Gaelic speakers.
In 2011 it was reported that Staffin Island may be the last in Scotland where the old tradition of having cattle swim between grazings is still carried out. Crofter Iain MacDonald, who used to swim with the animals, now uses a boat to encourage them to swim from Staffin Island to Skye in early spring and back again in October.

PS. I am saving up for upcoming Landscape Photography Trips to Scotland and Namibia and a few road trips in the USA, including Route 66 and The historic Apache Trail. Also on my list are National Parks and Botanical gardens in South Africa, the UK, and the USA.
The most important photography trip for me is to return to Scotland. I am honoring my promise to my Father to return and capture the beautiful landscapes and the elusive Puffins. Your help to make these trips a reality would be much appreciated in today’s economy.

Staffin (Scottish Gaelic: Stafain) is a district with the Gaelic name An Taobh Sear, which translates as “the East Side,” on the northeast coast of the Trotternish peninsula of the island of Skye.
It is located on the A855 road about 17 miles (27 kilometers) north of Portree and is overlooked by the Trotternish Ridge with the famous rock formations of The Storr and the Quiraing.
The district comprises 23 townships made up of, from south to north, Rigg, Tote, Lealt, Lonfearn, Grealin, Breackry, Cul-nan-cnoc, Bhaltos, Raiseburgh, Ellishadder, Garafad, Clachan, Garros, Marrishader, Maligar, Stenscholl, Brogaig, Sartle, Glasphein, Digg, Dunan, Flodigarry and Greap.
The Kilmartin River runs northwards through the village. From where it reaches the sea, a rocky shore leads east to a slipway at An Corran. Here a local resident found a slab bearing a dinosaur track, probably made by a small ornithopod. Experts subsequently found more dinosaur prints of up to 50 cm, the largest found in Scotland, made by a creature similar to Megalosaurus. At about 160 million years old, they are the youngest dinosaur remains to be found in Scotland. A Mesolithic hunter-gatherer site dating to the 7th millennium BC at An Corran is one of the oldest archaeological sites in Scotland. Its occupation is probably linked to that of the rock shelter at Sand, Applecross, on the coast of Wester Ross.
In the modern era, this part of Skye retains a strong Gaelic identity, with 61 percent of the local population recorded as speaking the language in 2001. In September 2010, Comunn na Gàidhlig named Staffin as their “Gaelic Community of the Year” in the first year this competition ran.
The Highland Council announced the launch of a consultation into a plan to convert the local primary into a Gaelic medium school. This would be the second such conversion in Scotland after Bun-sgoil Shlèite. Only 5 out of the school’s thirty pupils have English as their only language, with the remainder being bilingual English and Gaelic speakers.
In 2011 it was reported that Staffin Island may be the last in Scotland where the old tradition of having cattle swim between grazings is still carried out. Crofter Iain MacDonald, who used to swim with the animals, now uses a boat to encourage them to swim from Staffin Island to Skye in early spring and back again in October.
