Wednesday Walk in the sky.

avatar

Late afternoon and we are trapped in the fierce South-Easter wind called the Cape Doctor.

But nothing prevented me from going outside to show you the color changes in the sky before nightfall. Oh, and I also have a new toy.

There are many videos on YouTube showing how pedestrians are struggling to walk in the streets when the Cape Doctor is blowing and some are very funny. But you can go and look, as I want to concentrate on the color changes here after the sun has gone down.
So then come and take a walk with me in the sky.

I placed this post in the #wednesdaywalk community managed by my good friend @tattoodjay

As we walk things are gradually growing darker.

Then by chance back on earth we found this new prop.

Again I concentrated on the color changes around the lamp on our gate post.

Finally you can see the faint outline of the full moon in shadow, but no way that I could get it clearer with this strong wind blowing through the atmosphere.

There is always so much to see here and it is a pleasure for me to go out exploring, to show you the beauty that surrounds us on land, sea, and sky.
I regularly take walks mentally in all of them, and it is always such a great pleasure to see the stunning views.
Nature was designed to be totally independent and self-sufficient and it plays such a critical role in sustaining this earth and everything that lives on it.
Such a pity that so many profit hunters don't care about nature and they simply continue to destroy everything in the name of progress. A false name for profits.

And That's All Friends.

Love the variety of colors

I have to ask what is your new toy

Thanks for joining Wednesday Walk :), I truly enjoy exploring the world virtually each Wednesday seeing walks from all around the globe and feeling I am there and experiencing it all myself, such as I did in your post just now :)

Sky has been amazing of late, that wind doctor of yours paid me a visit as well, one plant half down.

Well the plant will have to remain where is lays as it would be too heavy to move, destroy other plants as well if interfered with right now.

!LUV sunset with moon the finger nail effect taken here as well 😀

Sorry to hear and yes, the past few days we have had a bad time with the Cape Doctor. And this is only the beginning as it arrives unannounced until March. So maybe it will also now continue to affect your area.

I am waiting to get the full moon above that lamp my friend.

Strong wind can be so damaging lost a cycas couple of weeks ago with it's head blown off, now the money fruit plant where I captured pics of them upside down enjoying the fruit, perhaps other half will survive.

Enjoy waiting for full moon and photographic opportunity !LOLZ

Did you post the pictures?

I bet that our full moon will be clouded over again and if it is, then it will be the sixth time in row that I couldn't get the full moon. Maybe I am punting for a Guineas World Record in missing full moons :)

I agree that destruction is always so sad to see. We have not been back to the nature reserves since the last visit, as all of the beautiful varieties of Protea bushes were wiped out.
It will take a few years for them to be fully restored again,

Ha! My camera sits right next to me here and it goes to sleep when I go to sleep. My memory bank is a bit confussed lately 😛

Too many fires of late wiping out nature, hopefully it does grow back to former glory.

Oh we hit the same wall every so often with confusion and frustration, take care.

Small green shoots of grass have already started all over, but the protea trunks and the small trees stand like black sentinels to remind one of the destruction.

Hahaha, and that wall is totally blank!
So embarrassing when I run into somebody and I have forgotten their name. So I got clever and wrote everyone's name in a small diary. Then I forgot where I put the diary and so gave it up as a bad idea.

Wind is blowing already brown lawn into sand patches, nature will heal once rains arrive again, hopefully no more fires down your way!

When I remember names sometimes I cannot pronounce, have pet names for young ones and had to use at memorial service last week. Never been good with names, numbers yes those stick.... well used to!

Ah, and that sand patches are always an eye sore. Nowadays people install artificial lawns that is even more of an eyesore. A small section of the back garden here was also covered in the stuff, but thankfully I brought our wooden outdoor blocks when we moved here. Amazingly just enough to cover the lawn and turn it into a deck.

I am good with pet nicknames but not pet names for people, so I just call everyone "friend". Such as, how are you my friend when somebody greets me :)

Wood deck still allows water to soak through unlike fake lawn that soars the soil underneath, good idea keeping wooden blocks for repurposing.

The amazing thing was that I had enough to cover the whole area, plus 4 left over to spare.
Unfortunately we left a heap of our river rocks behind and now I will have to find some others.

Done that and got the badge and the T-shirt. But you are right, as it is surely a hard labor sentence.

Ditto, when originally starting up the garden collected many rocks from various places to use for borders in a natural look.
