We have an abundance of babies now during the December month. First, we had the twin Malachite sunbird babies that I posted, and here now we have Cape Sparrow triplets.They built that nest high up on the pipes running down on the wall of an old double story house.

It must have been blown out of its nest after the strong wind. , she said, are you my daddyI sat outside early this morning with a cup of coffee, as it was going to be a hot day. At 33 Celsius, later it would not be wise to go anywhere outside due to dangerous UV rays, but early morning before the sun starts to fire things up, it was pleasant to sit in the cool early breeze. Soon, even the house will become an oven also inside.

I wish that you can see how the clouds slowly envelop the mountains. A slow and gentle action that looks like cloudy waterfalls.As you can see, the wind was high, but down below it was only a cool breeze. The in-laws up north in the country were happy to tell us during a phone call, that their 3 weeks of torture in the heat, has now subsided into lower temperatures, with much rain. Now the heat is our turn here down south, as we are rapidly climbing into the 30s Celius. Maybe we will go into the 40s, and that would create a catastrophe, as the water in the dams will evaporate and threaten not only drought, but also a lack of drinking water.
