C12 - Family Reunion

This is the best block to describe last weekend.  We went for a braai at Danie and Jacolize in Sunninghill to meet their newly adopted cat kids.  It was a lovely reunion with good food, champagne and beautiful cat grandkids.  The weather of early spring has been kind to us. Promising long balmy summer's evenings on the patio.

C11 - Soldiers and Sailors Monument

In blood red, I suppose it is apt.  I don't think anyone likes war and fighting.  Yet we do it with so much vigor. Misplaced patriotism? Money, power and greed?  I don't like war and fighting.  Yet I do it with so much vigor.

C10 - Patriot's Lantern

Patriot - a person feeling a strong support for their country.  Our national anthem says: "comes the call to come together, and united we shall stand: let us live and strive for freedom, in South Africa our land.  So tonight, I light this lantern for South Africa.  Still the best place to be!

C8 - Hani's Crown

Blue and turcoise. Swirls and stars.  This doesn't look like a crown to me, but today I can feel the first warmth pf spring. After a long winter I long for the mild summer nights with a blue velvet sky, dotted with stars.  I love African skies.
