In Fields of Flowers

25 Aug

We drove north from Cape Town on a sunny Friday morning to an isthmus of land that juts out into the Atlantic Ocean. And there, in a place called Postberg, is a national park open for only two months of the year…the two months when the wildflowers bloom. The expanse of flowers extends all the way to the edge of the ocean. We wish all of you could have been there to see it.

The setting

There is wild life among the  flowers. Two Cape Buffalo came thundering down the road toward us and veered from us just in time.

Yes, this is a zebra.

Zebras, note the nursing colt

The closer you look, the more varieties and colors you see.

I took the road less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
