The Southern African Gazelle! Wednesday Walk Adventures!
Well Hello There Fellow Adventurers And Hivers!
Well, I haven't been here in some weeks! But I decided that today it was time for one since I did manage to get some cool photos! Well they aren't a lot of photos but I am fond of them!
With summer approaching in full force I can feel my walking isn't as fun as it use to be! I am one of those winter babies and when the heat strike I swear I'd rather just die! 🤣 I honestly don't know how people do it! It feels like I'm the only one dying of heat every second of the day!
Am I?
Well I know that I don't necessarily have to do the walks during the days it can be at night but what quality will the photos be then! I suppose at the end of the day it really doesn't matter, does it?
The Southern African Gazelle!
Okay at-least that's what google says it is in English! To us South Africans it's called a "Springbok" so you can perhaps say it's a "Springbuck" I really ain't sure at all!
On the one edge of the farm there is a house very close by as you can see and the house was recently sold and the owner got five of them I think, or at-least he had five of them. Two of them ran over to our fields and well they stayed here. See we are more than willing to give them back but unfortunately we don't have a dart gun to knock them out with and neither does he. So if he is willing to come run around on foot he is more than welcome to do that! Laughs!
See you can't chase them back with a vehicle or a motorcycle you will just pound them with stress and you don't want that. They will die very easily then, so it's best to just leave them be I suppose. The reason they came over to us was because the one buck we have was a male and the females all ran after him xD
I suppose we scored somehow? Even if we don't interact with the bucks at all!
I'm not entirely sure if this is male or female but damn it was more than interested in me as I walked past! So I decided why not go and try to scratch his head then! I took a little too long though!
I was too shocked at how the buck just stood there looking at me like I was a nice piece of green grass!
It felt amazing to say the least!
It feels somewhat incomplete with at-least one or two sunset photos!
I just can't do a Wednesday Walk post and not add a sunset picture to the bunch right?
Of-course not!
Well this one was out of the ordinary for me, actually they all are aren't they? Because not one is like the other! Not ever!
For some weird reason the photo looks very grainy and I don't like that at all, feels like some of the effect is getting lost. Perhaps I made a mistake with the editing on it, not sure! But with that said I do love it when you can stare at that great big ball of fire in space without hurting your eyes!
Nothing more beautifull than that! And imagine you can experience these views with the one you plan on spending eternity with! I damn well can not wait to share these moments with @misshugo every day and all day! Well we kinda already do!
The Unexpected Happened Today!
Okay firstly I would like to apologize for my lazyness, oh wait actually it's the opposite.
I wanted to get this picture earlier but I had some stuff that needed attention right away so I decided to come back later thinking that I wouldn't take that long.
I always disappoint myself xD
Well, by the looks of it we're finally getting a road revamp leading up to the farm and the surprising part is that our neighbours asked us if they can patch our part up too. Which has never happened before.
See the problem is that the trucks think the road leading to our farm can actually cross over our farm, where it doesn't the road leads to a dead end and when it rains the trucks tend to mess up the road badly. That in turn affects everyone and not just us!
Honestly at first the neighbours didn't like us all that much and we had the same feelings towards them. That was until one night a drunken man caused some trouble and I decided to chase him down the road in the middle of the night. Ever since then things have slowly gotten better between us. We would inform them about some stuff and they us.
We had a jolly good time trying to catch the lams that went through their fence onto our farm! That was some fun sports I tell you!
Until Our Next Adventure! Stay Blessed!

I am the opposite of you, the heat doesnt really bother me, mind you that said I do go for my walks mostly in the early morning, but Winter as I get older I feel it so much more deep in my bones
