Trip into Cape Town today to drop hubby off at the airport. The South Easter was howling but I braved the wind and went home via a farm in the winelands called Babylonstoren. They have amazing gardens and a huge section of clivias in full bloom - different shades of orange, yellow, and even white clivias. Unfortunately the flower closeups are mostly rather blurry due to the gusty wind and I was also worried about my camera in the dust blowing around - although it was quite calm in this little patch of woodland.
@ludwigsdiana I've never been before, but had heard about it. It is rather far for me to easily get there (especially with the latest fuel price increases) but I really would like to go back there some day when we are likely not to have a South Easter buffeting everything around so much - not to mention the incredible dust storms that caused me to want to shield my poor camera inside my windcheater
@narayani Thanks Narayani. Yes completely different. I didn't get many decent shots out of the experience - apart from the wind blowing all the flowers around so much, I don't have any experience with shooting in the shade like this, so it was all new to me, but a very enjoyable day all the same
