Lightning storm in Cape Town

Monday 12 November 2012

Thunder and lightning isn’t very common down in Cape Town, but it’s weather I really love. I sat outside in the rain and wind last night with my brother (he has uncanny lightning precognition) watching the lightning over the mountains and was lucky to get a few shots, below is my favourite one.

I’ve never photographed lightning before but it’s been something I’ve wanted to do for a while. Hooray for beautiful evenings in the Cape.

Putting the ‘pro’ in procrastination

Thursday 25 October 2012

Lame title, I apologise, but I’m stressed and tired am not dealing with it very constructively – instead of getting on with work like I should be, I spent some time outside with my cats this evening. Have to say I’m finding it hard to do anything else at the moment…There are a million things happening in Cape Town this weekend though, so hopefully I’ll have some more interesting blog content up soon.

Until then, here’s Jasper skulking around in the grass and Olivia, our grand old dame, both of whom have birthdays in the next 2 weeks.
