Reach for the sun
Open gardens: Pink sunshine

Into the sun
A little more sun
It's not that I'm not happy that we're getting rain (goodness knows, we need it), it's just that I'd really like for it to be sunny and warm in our rainy season. Oh, right, that kind of weather is the kind our northern provinces enjoy. :(

Sun, tree, silhouette

Last of the leaves
Looking at the leaf's veins - I wonder if a palm-reader could tell me anything about the plant, it's wine-producing potential, or perhaps its future in our garden. :)
The poisonous Frangipani
Wet roads and sunshine
I find it a little stressful to drive in unfamiliar places when the sun's glare on the road completely obliterates the markings and forces me to squint. Similarly, driving at night on unfamiliar wet roads into the bright lights of oncoming traffic is another thing that I really don't enjoy.
Don't you just hate driving in conditions like this? Wouldn't it be awesome if the rain would leave the roads alone and stick to falling on mountains, fields and in our gardens?
Remember to be smart and drive slower in poor conditions and when you can't see road markings clearly. Be safe and arrive alive.
Sunglasses, an African imperative
Most people are wise enough to buy sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection - I've even gone to the point of only buying only glasses with polarised lenses because (besides for reducing the brightness) they help reduce the glare from the road, water, or beach sand.
As someone I knew once said, you only have two eyes, so buy proper sunglasses. I don't know about you, but I reckon that's a pretty fair statement.
