Turns out camels are basically big puppies ๐ฅฐ๐ช I loved meeting the gentle natured Honda on the beach in Mombasa. She was given this name by locals because she is friendly and apparently as fast as a Honda motorbike! ๐๏ธ

I love this striking colourful new mural in our community park! ๐ ๐ Parkhurst, Johannesburg
I love watching sunsets at my neighbourhood park. But today was spectacular! Autumn colours everywhere, happy people, pups, families, all under a bright orange moon in a big Joburg sky. A wonderful way to end the month of May. ๐๐๐
Spectacular Pretoria! ๐ Had an amazing hike in Groenkloof. I still canโt believe we have this magical, wonderful, beautiful natural place right in the heart of South Africaโs capital city. ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ
Thereโs just something so magical about cosmos season in Johannesburg ๐ธ๐ค๐๐ค
I love that autumn has arrived in Joburg. How beautiful was todayโs warm gold sunset right after the light rain ๐ธ๐ซถ๐๐ค๏ธ
Living in South Africa is a blessing ๐ฟ๐ฆโค๏ธ
Happy St. Patrick's Day! How many four-leaf clovers can you spot in my pic? ๐
City of Gold sunset. I love Joburg! ๐คฉ๐
Sunset in beautiful Parkhurst. Have an awesome weekend ๐ค๐ณโจ
Joburg on this stunning summer day! Loving the first cosmos blooms appearing, and people outdoors enjoying our urban greenery. I hope you have a wonderful day ๐ค๐ธ๐ฒ
Being outdoors recharges my energy. Love living in this green city ๐ฑ
It is a wonderfully slow, peaceful start to this beautiful Sunday in Joburg, strolling at Zoo Lake. I hope you have a great day! ๐๐ฆ๐ถ
This city is amazing! I love Johannesburg โค๏ธ๐ฟ๐ฆ
Soft, dreamy sunlight streaming through the leaves, birds singing and a calm stillness all around. Walking through the magical urban forest of The Wilds in Johannesburg always does wonders for my wellbeing ๐๐๐ฆ๐ฆ
Out on a beautiful sunny late afternoon stroll. Strangers passing by greeting each other as if weโre good friends, couples of all diversities holding hands, cyclists, walkers, families, pups, all enjoying the outdoors. I love Johannesburg and summer here! ๐ฅน๐ซถ
Wow! The rose garden at the Johannesburg Botanical Gardens are bursting with colour! ๐๐
Unbelievably beautiful day hiking Moreleta Kloof in Pretoria. All this nature, forests, flowers and wildlife right in the capital city of South Africa! ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ท๐ค
A visit to my favourite museum in the world, McGregor Museum in Kimberley, South Africa. As a young kid, I lived across the street and spent many weekends here exploring, learning, and nurturing my interest in South African heritage and love for the natural environment. ๐ฟ๐ฆโค๏ธ
Love this new mural titled "Kindness is Contagious" by artist Themba Dreda Malaza and partner Marcia Majavu. Itโs part of the โIf Walls Could Talk' Programme by William Humphreys Art Gallery. It inspires kindness and brings positivity and colour to the city of Kimberley in South Africa ๐๐๏ธ๐๐
Happy New Year! Wishing you a 2026 where things work out the way you need them to, and the year treats you gently and kindly. ๐ซถ๐ฑ
So much happened in 2025! I graduated, went to new places, gave back to my community, high school reunion, and pushed health goals. Grateful for a full and blessed year. I gave it my all. Excited for what 2026 will bring. Wishing a prosperous and Happy New Year to you! ๐ค๐๐ฅ
Just outside Kimberley. Northern Cape sunrises are the most beautiful ๐๐งก๐ฅ
Sun setting and sky full of birds behind the cathedral. Kimberley sunsets are magic. ๐
Parkhurst has the most spectacular sunset views in Joburg. No one can convince me otherwise. Just look at this eveningโs colour display! ๐๐
As Iโm about to drive off, the Sandton parking lot boss leaps onto the hood demanding โParking ticket and pets, human. Pay up.โ ๐ผ๐น
