Well Spring is here in the Southern part of the world. Where I life we have all the spring flowers out and in bloom and hopefully soon I will venture out to get a picture. At this point though the weather is not really playing along so I have not been able to get up the west coast to go and see them. Pop back soon though as I am planning a trip tomorrow if the weather man is wrong and it does not rain.

I have decided to move my site to my domain name and move my Doodles site to my Fab;s Spot domain. So I have spent the weekend ( a very rainy one) moving all the content and redoing the template and widgets as well as updating the functions and plug-ins. I hope it all works bear with me during the settling phase and report any glitches.

So one of my new treats is not having to work on a Wednesday. I make a point to have at least 1 day to just do family stuff. So today Anthony and I went off to Paarl for lunch and some shopping. We stopped in at Fairview for a light lunch. They have a really nice restaurant and as it was slightly chilly we sat inside but will return for a nice meal out doors, as you can see they have a lovely area under the trees.

Fairview is well know for it’s goat’s milk cheese so we had to stop off and get some. They have really nice bread too.

They take the goats very seriously here and they get 5 star treatment as you can see from the little house they have.

Well all in all an nice relaxing day with way too much good food.

Well together with approx 7000 other photographers I ventured out on Saturday the 23rd August to photograph my city. there where approx. 243 cities all around the world taking part, and the best image from each city was entered into a draw to select the best picture of the day. Well I was definitely not the winner but learnt a lot from the other photographer’s who braved the early morning and in our case cold and the latter part rain.

We meet in the Bo-Kaap area and then wandered down to the top part of town. The streets where nice and quiet so we where able to just amble around.

You can view the entries from the South African Cape Town group here. I have added 2 of my pictures.
