Another Bright Idea
Going on a wine walk is a grand tradition. All the wine growers of an area get together, plan a route through the vineyards, put up stalls along the way where you can sit and eat and more importantly, sample the local wine. Then you move on until you find the next stall that looks inviting. But – you want to take your glass of wine with you and you want to have your hands free when walking. These glass holders are a really bright idea!
The trails may be up to 20 km. But never fear: The organisers usually organise a shuttle service to collect stranded hikers or have different access points that lead to the local bus service.

📻 Ferry … ‘cross the river …
When you’re only four-years-old, it takes a lot of patience waiting for the ferry to cross the river.
But since Emily mentioned our current situation I thought I’d add one of the pebbles or rather a pebble construction with an appropriate message:
The Ragtag Daily Prompt: Patience
My New Friends
After my foray into Barbie photography I saw this book called Little Mannheim – a coffee table book with little figures out and about in the city of Mannheim. The photographer, Benedikt Hild, takes photos of the kind of little people that are used to populate railway models. And I was inspired. When I was in a toyshop yesterday for something completely different, I looked at the little people on display and I was immediately taken by a collection of nudists. I feel this is the beginning of a fun friendship!
Friendly Friday: Something learned
Easter Eggs, and Chicks, and Bunnies
Happy whatever you might be celebrating this weekend. If it involves eggs, and bunnies, and chicks, it’s probably Easter. May you celebrate it in the best possible way (which might not even come close to your wishes but still!).
Found in a Park
Admittedly I’m cheating a bit here but by name the Kruger National Park in South Africa is a park.
The photos are not good quality, they were taken in the early 1980s. Unfortunately, at the time I didn’t like glossy prints and the matt paper prints looked slightly fuzzy to begin with and don’t photograph too well. However, they record a very fond memory of mine, and the monochrome treatment does their age justice.
We were driving on the roads of the Kruger Park, somewhere between Skukuza and the Lower Sabie Rest Camp, when we saw a large yellow animal standing under the tree in the distance. Only when we got nearer we were realising that it was a lioness.
She stood stock-still on the side of the road. We admired her for quite a while until we had the idea to see what she was looking at. That’s when we realised that on the other side of the road were her cubs.
We were mesmerised. When we looked back at the lioness she had disappeared, obviously circumventing us. We drove off, thinking it would be better to let her get to her cubs undisturbed.

Looking forward
I am so looking forward to thirty shades of bright this month! Like this bundle of bright sparks, streaks, or even blobs, with some colourful variations in between.
