Weekly Photo Challenge: ‘Growth’

I love a weekend morning where the clouds are over, rain is falling and there is a chill to the air … makes it just scrumptious for an extended snooze …. it’s even better when you slither out of bed and make a cup of tea and the sun peeps out and shoo’s the clouds away.  That’s exactly what happened on this morning.  As I stepped onto my balcony my Gerbra was holding her face fully up to the Sun and basking in it’s warmth. I could almost see her growing and getting taller as I was watching.  Like it was almost vibrating with the excitement of a warm day in the middle of winter.  With those same rays giving sparkle to the droplets on the petals – that cup of tea never tasted so good!

You’re not the only one who feels a little lost sometimes…

Lest We Forget

Sandstorm approaching…

From the time I heard the yell of warning from the security guards I had 3 minutes to grab my camera, run at full speed down the hallway, outside to the rear of the yard, up the water tank stands ladder and focus and shoot.

That’s how long it takes for a sandstorm to be in the distance til the sky goes dark, the wind becomes a howl and the sand swirls, blasts and forces its way through every crack and crevice in your shelter.

A force of nature that humbles you.
