A gentle spring zephyr

Nothing is so beautiful as spring -
When weeds, in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush.

It was a blustery day today, and I imagined several times that my house might actually blow away with me in it. I heard strange crashes and thuds from outside all afternoon, but we seem to still be where we were this morning. This photo was taken as the wind began to settle down for the evening, from Bottelary Road near Stellenbosch.

You chose a wonderful quote for your lovely photo!
This is interesting, because these are how the fields look in the US in the fall!
Is that wheat or grass that is brown. It is a beautiful landscape.

Great to catch up with all your fabulous photos - this one in particular is really evocative of Australia.
Really love the sun photo and the monkey too - what a cutie!!

jules >> Yeah, many parts of CT remind us of Australia.
