A day discovering Mariepskop Picnic site

We went with Dave to explore Mariepskop on Thursday last week.

On the way we found a Chamilion.



Here is a smorgsboard of what we saw and did


Some of the flowers we saw.

A little stream.

Looking up stream at the view points


Sir N enjoying the freedom to climb and explore


Paul enjoying the swinging rope :o)


Taking a moment to enjoy the sights and contemplate.


The view upstream



There are beautiful little streams all over adding to the tranquil feeling.

The view driving home after a wonderful day of memories.

It's been so wonderful watching Sir N explore and discover both himself and his surroundings.  I am enjoying watching him gain confidence with his own abilities.

    1. Thank you Vicky :) I enjoyed visiting this place as it's another of the special places that we courted at and used to take outward bound school group trips to.

    1. Thank you Jen. I have so enjoyed photographing our trip. Sir N wanted to know why we had not come here once a week ?

      You are welcome. I am looking forward to reading everyone's blogs and catching up when I get home. :o)

  3. Hi Chareen,

    I've just invited you to join Victor's HEEE HEEE Meme. It's just for fun so don't feel obliged if you're busy. Also, I know you wouldn't be able to do much, until you get home so please don't feel pressured. Hope you can join in - it would be fun to read a story from you.

    God bless and prayers for your safe trip home:-)

  5. Hi Chareen, how is the road leading up to the site. I know many years ago this was only accessible by 4x4.
