Emergency warnings were sent out to all of the coastal towns. A note to all of the travellers. You will see some majestic sunsets when you visit the shores of the Western Cape Province in South Africa.This post can be seen all across the world, and many have told me that a visit to our country is at the top of their travel lists. So, it is to you that I send this post. South Africa is known as one of the friendliest countries to visit in the world. The people are warm and welcome everyone with open arms. Sadly, like all the other countries across the world, one always has to take precautions about their safety, but experienced travellers will know about it and first-time travellers can always travel with a tour group.

This is a cross post of @papilloncharity/a-rare-visitor-to-our-water-bottle-and-random-others by @papilloncharity.A lovely variety of birds in here to share with all.

Apalis cisticola warblers, are small endemic insectivores. Birds, fish, and even a squirrel in here today.At first, when I took the photo above, I thought that it was a fiscal shrike, but the picture on my PC showed another creature entirely. It is an Apalis warbler, and I think it is of the Bar-throated Apalis species (Apalis thoracica).

I almost missed seeing this one, as it blends in perfectly on a leaf. Now you are going to have to forgive me, as I am not very familiar with flower names, I would call them all Roses but that might be very upsetting for the floral-wise people so I will just show the flowers to you. I might know one or two of them. Talking about one or two, I decided to show you a count below of what I think might be some lilies or orchid-like flowers. Some of you might even know their names.

Clouds stacked, a cloud waterfall, and the wind as an artist. To me it seemed like the cloud was trapped between the tree and the mountain. I wonder how many people have ever laid down on a blanket with their eyes upon the clouds in the sky. I for one always have my eyes on the sky, and at times I try to look for figures and shapes in the clouds. To me the clouds are the actors on a blue screen, and the wind is the production manager. Just my way of looking at things.

The birds know how to flee to safety in the strong winds. We wish you all a happy Friday and a great weekend. I have told you many times that we live in the Cape of Storms. One moment it is blue sky, but strong wind gusts can change the views in a matter of minutes. Many ships have been sunk here by the sudden strong wind gusts that whip the waves high. And now with the moon bringing the spring tides in the ocean, I will not go near a boat, or even the beach for that matter, as the sand blowing in the wind feels like it wants to take one's face off with a thousand stings by the racing sand pebbles.
