Carpe Diem
This week we spontaneously decided that we should go on a road trip
Our destination was the Westcoast Natue Reserve
We were hoping we would see the spring flowers- but as it turns out we were late, they were already gone!
that wasn't going to dim our mood or sense of adventure- so we still went a long walk ( hoping a little bit to turn a corner and see carpets of spring flowers!! )
following a flower and game path...
discovering lots of blossoms
outlandish plants
met mr. tortoise (actually quite a few of them)
walked through a field of wild irises (their scent is truly amazing!)
turned a corner
and!
saw lots of Game!!!!
Well, I guess spring is here! most of the game we saw- and we saw so much had babies!
my favourite were the baby Ostriches, but family Ostrich don't like being photographed...so you will have to take my word for it ;)
This weeks Word is CARPE DIEM, seize the moment!
And I love my spontaneous trips however close or far! They are so rejuvenating and make me feel alive!! I promised myself now that it is spring I will do that more again
For more interpretations of the Weekword visit Line!
Enjoy your DAY!

These flowers look so exotic and so different from our British wild flowers. What a beautiful place.
