I Don’t Know What To Do With All This Wide Open Space

4 Comments

I spent the whole day, the whole whole day wandering around wondering if there should be something I should be doing!

I sat down and read 3 pages of my book. I wandered into the kitchen countless times looking for something to eat or drink. I took some photos, shown here. It’s all because I can’t #justrelaxalready!

It’s as though all this wide open space is toying with my mind.

We woke up to a gorgeous sight of a misty morning…

…and loved seeing the mist recede into the valley below as we had breakfast on the deck.

After breakfast I took some photos…

I hope I’ll become more acclimatised to doing nothing this long weekend.

Until tomorrow…

WordPress Weekly Photo: Church on the Valley Floor

Image 1 Comment

I spotted a beautiful church on a valley floor in the Magaliesberg last winter. I used my 50 – 200mm lens zoomed to its maximum which blurred the leaves of the branches I photographed through.

Mount Grace, Magaliesberg, South AfricaThis is my third entry.

The first one – To the Lighthouse – blurry coloured lights of the Swakopmund lighthouse.

The second entry – Blurry Bush Safari – some of the blurry photos taken on a game drive in Limpopo province, Thandeka Game Lodge.
