Enjoy the natural beauty of your surroundings...

Amen to that sister!! We have to enjoy the beauty that surrounds us and I think a lot of us take it for granted. Life's certainly too short to waste on petty things like anger and bitterness!! One of my favourite hobbies is capturing the beauty and power of mother nature, mostly weather!! This is a lightning storm I captured in April this year during an unseasonal thunderstorm (we usually get them from October to March) in Pretoria where I currently live.


Now this is what makes makes Pretoria such an awesome city! Every spring the city's jacaranda trees bloom and from an elevated position all you see is a see of purple laid out across the city as far as the eye can see. Not many people appreciate this spectacle which for a just couple months every year, helps Pretoria unseat Cape Town as South Africa's most beautiful city.


This is at the Pretoria Botanical Gardens! Great place to take the family for picnics and enjoy the beautiful surrounding showcasing some indigenous South Africa flora!
