Views of the morning, afternoon and evening.
Does the picture above look like a camel on the tree?
One can never expect what a new day will bring, and it can often tear our way laid plans apart. Say for instance, we have planned a family picnic, as the weather forecast is good, but then it turns out to be a day like this. The unexpected like to surprise us, and I think just to show us how wrong we can be at times. Negativity does not have a place in our lives, as we just take things as they come and try our best to overcome.
Early morning looked good when we left the house.

And some lovely views were waiting for us. Ideal weather for a picnic.

Then suddenly, the afternoon started to change.
Mist started to roll in and things got rapidly cooler.

A strong cold wind picked up.

And we had to leave in a hurry in the case of rain coming.

Things can start to change in a blink of an eye over here.

This is what it looked like when we stopped at our house.

But then at sunset things seemed to be slowly clearing again.

Finally, I just had to show you the swallow at this cloud.

If you google the Cape of Storms, then you will see what I am talking about the weather here. But now after a few years of living here, we have slowly, over time, started to get used to it. It is a give and take business, as one's plans to relax in nature should always have a plan B, or in serious cases even a plan C. I say even a plan C, as I can so remember during our early years here how many times, I arrived back home sopping wet from head to toe.
My chronic iron levels have resulted in anaemia, and the one thing I am happy about is that I am so skinny now that the rain must fall double to make me wet:) Another problem is that when I shower, I must take care not to go down the shower's drain. Only a bit of humor to hopefully get a smile. Regardless of the weather situations, I always make a plan with my camera. to look for some special views.
Such is life.
I hope you enjoyed the pictures and the story.
