a new year’s reflection

Hello Fellow Travelers 🐞 As 2022 nears its end, I find myself in a reflective mood. Oh boy…. good luck 🤣☘️ I fell in love with this years ago and can’t place where I read it: “We damage our bodies so as not to notice the coming apart of our souls” Be it through a form of addiction, substance abuse, negative self talk, self loathing or any destructive behavior I guess. The good news is;…

A dedication to my dad

Hello FT’s 🐞 21 December 2022 As you may have gathered, I am a wee bit of a free spirit and a crazy one at that 🙃 My dad used to tell me that this song reminds him of me; especially these lyrics: “It’s knowing that your door is always open and your path is free to walk” He enjoyed the Dean Martin version, but then a friend shared this version with me and my…

A dedication to my mom on her 77th birthday

Hello FT’s 🐞 It was my mom’s birthday on the 05th of December and I wrote this but never posted it, thinking it was maybe too personal, but isn’t all of it? So here goes… I have been told on numerous occasions that traveling alone is courageous, which I guess it is. But what is more courageous is bringing up 3 children on your own, burying one of them and still managing to put a…

Orpen Gate to Johannesburg – South Africa

Howdy doodees 🐞 26 November 2022 A spectacular drive home through Tzaneen, Magoesbaskloof and Polokwane. The fog set in for a while, but I’ll take that over potholes any day.

Happy Saturday evening to you all, I hope you have a great weekend. Thank…

African Sky Bush Camp – Orpen Gate, Kruger National Park, South Africa

21 – 26 November 2022 🐞🐛 African Sky Bush Camp is a place where rustic meets homely! It has everything you need and the hosts Barry and Wendy are wonderful. Situated in the bush, about 35km from the Kruger National Park’s Orpen Gate, it’s the perfect getaway. Peaceful, tranquil, home cooked food and good company. My delight has been their daughter, Cassandra, she is a super little girl, with spunk and so many stories to…

Birds in Flight – Kruger National Park – South Africa

25 November 2022 Dear Fellow Travelers 🐞🐛🦅 I found the best signal in the middle of the Park 😁 I took time today to capture birds as they took off in flight… it’s a skill I need to master, and patience I need to obtain. But wow when I did get the shot it was a great feeling. I also learnt that we’re too busy chasing the big stuff and not appreciating the smaller things.…
