If I were a magazine, this would be it!

Strelitzia: The flower is commonly referred to as Bird of Paradise, or the Crane Flower in South Africa. I don't know much about plants or plant names, yet this is one that fascinates me and I for whatever reason even know it by its different names. Caught this on my first photo walk with Jordan, where we both took out our DSLR's with intent. It was my first picture of the walk. Have yet to actually look at the rest of the pictures. What I didn't know up until today about the plant is that it is on the 50c coin in South Africa. #funfacts #strelitzia #crane #craneflower #paradise #bird #flower #flowerpower #botany #southafrica #southafricaisawesome #photowalk (at Cape Town, South Africa)

Good to be home. Jozi winter week showed me flames! Well... figuratively speaking that is. #wineoclock #wine #redwine #capewine #capetown #constantia #home #fireplace (at Constantia, Western Cape, South Africa)

Jordan got a camera for her birthday from her aunt and uncle (Nikon D3100). That means I get my camera back and we can finally make good on our promise of photo walks. Good to have my good ole Nikon D70 back in hand. Still taking breathtaking photographs. P.S. that is Maya in the shot, not Jordan. My baseball team of choice is the Red Sox not the Tampa Bay Rays. In case the detail on the desk is what you pick up on 😉 #instamoment #instafun #home #desk #photo #nikon #dslr #photography

When in Rome... When in Cape Town, try out a bottle of French wine. Of the 4 French wine bottles I have found on South African shelves, I am now 2 out of 4 in terms of my LIKE button. Both hits were from Checkers, both misses were from Woolworths. This 2013 Cotes du Rhone Heritages bottle of Red wine was mighty fine. #Rhone #France #wineoclock #redwine #cotesdurhone #vintage #vino #winelover (at Cape Town, South Africa)

Happy Birthday! To you @thgoat and an early one to you @kershmanus; and a day late for Tshiamo; and two days late for Tumelo! That's how I roll now, save my one happy birthday for the month to the four of you on day three of June. Kersh, you may not remember but Tumelo is in this moment, just under cover, if you know what I mean. 😉 #happyfriday #happybirthday #family #moments #instafun #instamoment

I hope that you get the chance to slow down and take in Africa Day. I recently asked @morkelerasmus how he got bitten by the photography bug and what drives him in "capturing the moment". It would be selfish of me not to share such an inspired answer from him; "Guess it is the ability to capture that one decisive moment that can captivate someone's attention? And the ability to frame the beauty of Africa" ~ Morkel Erasmus #africa #happyafricaday #africaday #MyAfrica #tourist #travel #journey #meetsouthafrica #southafrica #sunset #africandream

Enjoy the sunset... Enjoy world whisky day. I didn't realise Islay is pronounced 'Eye-La' as I always pronounced it 'Eye-Lay'. I chose a fitting day to get that right. #worldwhiskydayphoto #worldwhisky #worldwhiskyday #whisky #dram #instadram #malt #islay #peat #lagavulin #lagavulin16

Every day should be whisky day, but rules are rules papi! Hope you find some dram and some good company to celebrate #worldwhiskyday I get to spend time with the family, with a special bottle, which I will share with you later. #worldwhiskydayphoto #worldwhisky #whisky #dram #scotch #malt #still (at Cape Town, South Africa)

Who has updated with this new software release for Android phones? I'm taking the plunge! I hope there is no splat, with a messy ending... #android #software #os #operatingsystem #mobile (at Cape Town, South Africa)

Glenfarclas, translating as 'the valley of the green grass'. This bottle was my initial foray into the world of whisky, some time last year. Good to be home... #whisky #scotch #speyside #dram #whiskylover #whiskygram #highlands (at Cape Town, South Africa)

A warm fireplace, family, food, laughter and of course some good wine. Great to open this bottle of @grootconstantia... It's been a while. #wineoclock #wine #redwine #pinotage #vino #winelover #winter #capetown

This was the family, on holiday in Cape Town in 2007 in May. Well so Google Photos tells me. We still lived in Joburg, and a holiday in Hermanus was always the joke about Hermanus in Hermanus... #FlashbackFriday #fbf #nostalgia #past #hermanus #capetown #holiday #travel #journey #googlephotos

It had to be #TBT for me to post my first bit of #instafun on this new look and feel of Instagram. Is it me, or do the girls look alike in this shot? #tbt #throwbackthursday #throwback #holiday #moments #memories #mpumalanga #southafrica (at Verlorenkloof)

Happy Mother's Day! I have been fortunate enough to have had a lot of motherly love, from different people, through my life. Cynthia Dikhomotsô Hermanus, thank you for playing your part, in making me me! #mothersday #mother #memories

"The man that knows something knows that he knows nothing at all" ~ Erykah Badu. Let that line really sink in for what it truly means. Reality is, the more you realise how much you don't know... The more you appreciate how little you know. #thinkingoutloud #thinking #thought #life #joy #journey #serenity #know #knowledge #wisdom
